Quotation from: A Set of Six

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"I didn't care a hang whether he answered me or not. But when he said
at once, 'Mecanicien, monsieur,' I nearly jumped out of the saddle with
excitement. The launch had been lying disabled and idle in the creek for
three weeks. My duty to the company was clear. He noticed my start,
too, and there we were for a minute or so staring at each other as if
bewitched.


"'Get up on my horse behind me,' I told him. 'You shall put my
steam-launch to rights.'"
