Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Dr. Monygham laughed his short, throaty laugh. Nostromo turned round in
the doorway.


"But if your worship can find any other man ready and fit for such
business I will stand back. I am not exactly tired of my life, though I
am so poor that I can carry all I have with myself on my horse's back."


"You gamble too much, and never say 'no' to a pretty face, Capataz,"
said Dr. Monygham, with sly simplicity. "That's not the way to make a
fortune. But nobody that I know ever suspected you of being poor. I
hope you have made a good bargain in case you come back safe from this
adventure."
