Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


On seeing Charles Gould step into the sala he would nod provisionally
and go on to the end of the oratorial period. Only then he would say--


"Carlos, my friend, you have ridden from San Tome in the heat of the
day. Always the true English activity. No? What?"


He drank up all the tea at once in one draught. This performance
was invariably followed by a slight shudder and a low, involuntary
"br-r-r-r," which was not covered by the hasty exclamation, "Excellent!"
