Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"No, but just imagine our forefathers in morions and corselets drawn
up outside this gate, and a band of adventurers just landed from their
ships in the harbour there. Thieves, of course. Speculators, too. Their
expeditions, each one, were the speculations of grave and reverend
persons in England. That is history, as that absurd sailor Mitchell is
always saying."


"Mitchell's arrangements for the embarkation of the troops were
excellent!" exclaimed Don Jose.
