Quotation from: A Set of Six

Written by: Joseph Conrad


He had no feeling either way. But he felt a great devotion for that
young girl. In his desire to appear worthy of her condescension, he
boasted a little of his bodily strength. He had nothing else to boast
of. Because of that quality his comrades treated him with as great a
deference, he explained, as though he had been a sergeant, both in camp
and in battle.


"I could always get as many as I wanted to follow me anywhere, senorita.
I ought to have been made an officer, because I can read and write."
