Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Senor," he whispered with awed wonder, "I am certain that there is
somebody weeping in this lighter."


Decoud had heard nothing. He expressed his incredulity. However, it was
easy to ascertain the truth of the matter.


"It is most amazing," muttered Nostromo. "Could anybody have concealed
himself on board while the lighter was lying alongside the wharf?"


"And you say it was like sobbing?" asked Decoud, lowering his voice,
too. "If he is weeping, whoever he is he cannot be very dangerous."
