Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Dr. Monygham twisted his lips into a bitter smile. After old Giorgio,
with an almost imperceptible nod and without a word, had gone up the
narrow stairs, he said--


"Why, Capataz! I thought you could never fail in anything."


Nostromo, glancing contemptuously at the doctor, lingered in the doorway
rolling a cigarette, then struck a match, and, after lighting it, held
the burning piece of wood above his head till the flame nearly touched
his fingers.
