Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad

"I wouldn't put up with half that nonsense from anybody at sea.
Don't you remember you told me yourself to go away? What was I to
do?"

"How stupid you are. I don't mean that you pretend. You really
are. Do you understand what I say? I will spell it for you. S-t-
u-p-i-d. Ah, now I feel better. Oh, amigo George, my dear fellow-
conspirator for the king--the king. Such a king! Vive le Roi!
Come, why don't you shout Vive le Roi, too?"
