Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad

in a schoolgirl's dress; a ferocious patriot. I suppose you would have

She interrupted him. "You do me too much honour."


"At any rate," he said, changing suddenly to a tone of bitter levity,
"you would have sent me to stab him without compunction."
