"
She
turned
away
slowly
,
walked
on
,
following
the
bank
,
and
passed
into
the
bushes
to
the
left
.
Once
only
her
eyes
gleamed
back
at
us
in
the
dusk
of
the
thickets
before
she
disappeared
.
"
'
If
she
had
offered
to
come
aboard
I
really
think
I
would
have
tried
to
shoot
her
,
'
said
the
man
of
patches
,
nervously
.
'
I
have
been
risking
my
life
every
day
for
the
last
fortnight
to
keep
her
out
of
the
house
.
She
got
in
one
day
and
kicked
up
a
row
about
those
miserable
rags
I
picked
up
in
the
storeroom
to
mend
my
clothes
with
.
I
was
n't
decent
.
At
least
it
must
have
been
that
,
for
she
talked
like
a
fury
to
Kurtz
for
an
hour
,
pointing
at
me
now
and
then
.
I
do
n't
understand
the
dialect
of
this
tribe
.
Luckily
for
me
,
I
fancy
Kurtz
felt
too
ill
that
day
to
care
,
or
there
would
have
been
mischief
.
I
do
n't
understand
...
No
--
it
's
too
much
for
me
.
Ah
,
well
,
it
's
all
over
now
.
'
"
At
this
moment
I
heard
Kurtz
's
deep
voice
behind
the
curtain
:
'
Save
me
!
--
save
the
ivory
,
you
mean
.
Do
n't
tell
me
.
Save
ME
!
Why
,
I
've
had
to
save
you
.
You
are
interrupting
my
plans
now
.
Sick
!
Sick
!
Not
so
sick
as
you
would
like
to
believe
.
Never
mind
.
I
'll
carry
my
ideas
out
yet
--
I
will
return
.
I
'll
show
you
what
can
be
done
.
You
with
your
little
peddling
notions
--
you
are
interfering
with
me
.
I
will
return
.
I.
.
.
'
"
The
manager
came
out
.
He
did
me
the
honour
to
take
me
under
the
arm
and
lead
me
aside
.
'
He
is
very
low
,
very
low
,
'
he
said
.
He
considered
it
necessary
to
sigh
,
but
neglected
to
be
consistently
sorrowful
.
'
We
have
done
all
we
could
for
him
--
have
n't
we
?
But
there
is
no
disguising
the
fact
,
Mr.
Kurtz
has
done
more
harm
than
good
to
the
Company
.
He
did
not
see
the
time
was
not
ripe
for
vigorous
action
.
Cautiously
,
cautiously
--
that
's
my
principle
.
We
must
be
cautious
yet
.
The
district
is
closed
to
us
for
a
time
.
Deplorable
!
Upon
the
whole
,
the
trade
will
suffer
.
I
do
n't
deny
there
is
a
remarkable
quantity
of
ivory
--
mostly
fossil
.
We
must
save
it
,
at
all
events
--
but
look
how
precarious
the
position
is
--
and
why
?
Because
the
method
is
unsound
.
'
'
Do
you
,
'
said
I
,
looking
at
the
shore
,
'
call
it
"
unsound
method
?
"
'
'
Without
doubt
,
'
he
exclaimed
hotly
.
'
Do
n't
you
?
'
...
'
No
method
at
all
,
'
I
murmured
after
a
while
.
'
Exactly
,
'
he
exulted
.
'
I
anticipated
this
.
Shows
a
complete
want
of
judgment
.
It
is
my
duty
to
point
it
out
in
the
proper
quarter
.
'
'
Oh
,
'
said
I
,
'
that
fellow
--
what
's
his
name
?
--
the
brickmaker
,
will
make
a
readable
report
for
you
.
'
He
appeared
confounded
for
a
moment
.
It
seemed
to
me
I
had
never
breathed
an
atmosphere
so
vile
,
and
I
turned
mentally
to
Kurtz
for
relief
--
positively
for
relief
.
'
Nevertheless
I
think
Mr.
Kurtz
is
a
remarkable
man
,
'
I
said
with
emphasis
.
He
started
,
dropped
on
me
a
heavy
glance
,
said
very
quietly
,
'
he
WAS
,
'
and
turned
his
back
on
me
.
My
hour
of
favour
was
over
;
I
found
myself
lumped
along
with
Kurtz
as
a
partisan
of
methods
for
which
the
time
was
not
ripe
:
I
was
unsound
!
Ah
!
but
it
was
something
to
have
at
least
a
choice
of
nightmares
.
"
I
had
turned
to
the
wilderness
really
,
not
to
Mr.
Kurtz
,
who
,
I
was
ready
to
admit
,
was
as
good
as
buried
.
And
for
a
moment
it
seemed
to
me
as
if
I
also
were
buried
in
a
vast
grave
full
of
unspeakable
secrets
.
I
felt
an
intolerable
weight
oppressing
my
breast
,
the
smell
of
the
damp
earth
,
the
unseen
presence
of
victorious
corruption
,
the
darkness
of
an
impenetrable
night
...
The
Russian
tapped
me
on
the
shoulder
.
I
heard
him
mumbling
and
stammering
something
about
'
brother
seaman
--
could
n't
conceal
--
knowledge
of
matters
that
would
affect
Mr.
Kurtz
's
reputation
.
'
I
waited
.
For
him
evidently
Mr.
Kurtz
was
not
in
his
grave
;
I
suspect
that
for
him
Mr.
Kurtz
was
one
of
the
immortals
.
'
Well
!
'
said
I
at
last
,
'
speak
out
.
As
it
happens
,
I
am
Mr.
Kurtz
's
friend
--
in
a
way
.
'
"
He
stated
with
a
good
deal
of
formality
that
had
we
not
been
'
of
the
same
profession
,
'
he
would
have
kept
the
matter
to
himself
without
regard
to
consequences
.
'
He
suspected
there
was
an
active
ill-will
towards
him
on
the
part
of
these
white
men
that
--
'
'
You
are
right
,
'
I
said
,
remembering
a
certain
conversation
I
had
overheard
.
'
The
manager
thinks
you
ought
to
be
hanged
.
'
He
showed
a
concern
at
this
intelligence
which
amused
me
at
first
.
'
I
had
better
get
out
of
the
way
quietly
,
'
he
said
earnestly
.
'
I
can
do
no
more
for
Kurtz
now
,
and
they
would
soon
find
some
excuse
.
What
's
to
stop
them
?
There
's
a
military
post
three
hundred
miles
from
here
.
'
'
Well
,
upon
my
word
,
'
said
I
,
'
perhaps
you
had
better
go
if
you
have
any
friends
amongst
the
savages
near
by
.
'
'
Plenty
,
'
he
said
.
'
They
are
simple
people
--
and
I
want
nothing
,
you
know
.
'
He
stood
biting
his
lip
,
then
:
'
I
do
n't
want
any
harm
to
happen
to
these
whites
here
,
but
of
course
I
was
thinking
of
Mr.
Kurtz
's
reputation
--
but
you
are
a
brother
seaman
and
--
'
'
All
right
,
'
said
I
,
after
a
time
.
'
Mr.
Kurtz
's
reputation
is
safe
with
me
.
'
I
did
not
know
how
truly
I
spoke
.
"
He
informed
me
,
lowering
his
voice
,
that
it
was
Kurtz
who
had
ordered
the
attack
to
be
made
on
the
steamer
.
'
He
hated
sometimes
the
idea
of
being
taken
away
--
and
then
again
...
But
I
do
n't
understand
these
matters
.
I
am
a
simple
man
.
He
thought
it
would
scare
you
away
--
that
you
would
give
it
up
,
thinking
him
dead
.
I
could
not
stop
him
.
Oh
,
I
had
an
awful
time
of
it
this
last
month
.
'
'
Very
well
,
'
I
said
.
'
He
is
all
right
now
.
'
'
Ye-e-es
,
'
he
muttered
,
not
very
convinced
apparently
.
'
Thanks
,
'
said
I
;
'
I
shall
keep
my
eyes
open
.
'
'
But
quiet-eh
?
'
he
urged
anxiously
.
'
It
would
be
awful
for
his
reputation
if
anybody
here
--
'
I
promised
a
complete
discretion
with
great
gravity
.
'
I
have
a
canoe
and
three
black
fellows
waiting
not
very
far
.
I
am
off
.
