It
was
a
sort
of
intoxication
which
made
him
utterly
indifferent
to
Decoud
's
fate
,
but
left
his
wits
perfectly
clear
for
the
appreciation
of
Decoud
's
political
idea
.
It
was
a
good
idea
--
and
Barrios
was
the
only
instrument
of
its
realization
.
The
doctor
's
soul
,
withered
and
shrunk
by
the
shame
of
a
moral
disgrace
,
became
implacable
in
the
expansion
of
its
tenderness
.
Nostromo
's
return
was
providential
.
He
did
not
think
of
him
humanely
,
as
of
a
fellow-creature
just
escaped
from
the
jaws
of
death
.
The
Capataz
for
him
was
the
only
possible
messenger
to
Cayta
.
The
very
man
.
The
doctor
's
misanthropic
mistrust
of
mankind
(
the
bitterer
because
based
on
personal
failure
)
did
not
lift
him
sufficiently
above
common
weaknesses
.
He
was
under
the
spell
of
an
established
reputation
.
Trumpeted
by
Captain
Mitchell
,
grown
in
repetition
,
and
fixed
in
general
assent
,
Nostromo
's
faithfulness
had
never
been
questioned
by
Dr.
Monygham
as
a
fact
.
It
was
not
likely
to
be
questioned
now
he
stood
in
desperate
need
of
it
himself
.
Dr.
Monygham
was
human
;
he
accepted
the
popular
conception
of
the
Capataz
's
incorruptibility
simply
because
no
word
or
fact
had
ever
contradicted
a
mere
affirmation
.
It
seemed
to
be
a
part
of
the
man
,
like
his
whiskers
or
his
teeth
.
It
was
impossible
to
conceive
him
otherwise
.
The
question
was
whether
he
would
consent
to
go
on
such
a
dangerous
and
desperate
errand
.
The
doctor
was
observant
enough
to
have
become
aware
from
the
first
of
something
peculiar
in
the
man
's
temper
.
He
was
no
doubt
sore
about
the
loss
of
the
silver
.
"
It
will
be
necessary
to
take
him
into
my
fullest
confidence
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
with
a
certain
acuteness
of
insight
into
the
nature
he
had
to
deal
with
.
On
Nostromo
's
side
the
silence
had
been
full
of
black
irresolution
,
anger
,
and
mistrust
.
He
was
the
first
to
break
it
,
however
.
"
The
swimming
was
no
great
matter
,
"
he
said
.
"
It
is
what
went
before
--
and
what
comes
after
that
--
"
He
did
not
quite
finish
what
he
meant
to
say
,
breaking
off
short
,
as
though
his
thought
had
butted
against
a
solid
obstacle
.
The
doctor
's
mind
pursued
its
own
schemes
with
Machiavellian
subtlety
.
He
said
as
sympathetically
as
he
was
able
--
"
It
is
unfortunate
,
Capataz
.
But
no
one
would
think
of
blaming
you
.
Very
unfortunate
.
To
begin
with
,
the
treasure
ought
never
to
have
left
the
mountain
.
But
it
was
Decoud
who
--
however
,
he
is
dead
.
There
is
no
need
to
talk
of
him
.
"
"
No
,
"
assented
Nostromo
,
as
the
doctor
paused
,
"
there
is
no
need
to
talk
of
dead
men
.
But
I
am
not
dead
yet
.
"
"
You
are
all
right
.
Only
a
man
of
your
intrepidity
could
have
saved
himself
.
"
In
this
Dr.
Monygham
was
sincere
.
He
esteemed
highly
the
intrepidity
of
that
man
,
whom
he
valued
but
little
,
being
disillusioned
as
to
mankind
in
general
,
because
of
the
particular
instance
in
which
his
own
manhood
had
failed
.
Having
had
to
encounter
singlehanded
during
his
period
of
eclipse
many
physical
dangers
,
he
was
well
aware
of
the
most
dangerous
element
common
to
them
all
:
of
the
crushing
,
paralyzing
sense
of
human
littleness
,
which
is
what
really
defeats
a
man
struggling
with
natural
forces
,
alone
,
far
from
the
eyes
of
his
fellows
.
He
was
eminently
fit
to
appreciate
the
mental
image
he
made
for
himself
of
the
Capataz
,
after
hours
of
tension
and
anxiety
,
precipitated
suddenly
into
an
abyss
of
waters
and
darkness
,
without
earth
or
sky
,
and
confronting
it
not
only
with
an
undismayed
mind
,
but
with
sensible
success
.
Of
course
,
the
man
was
an
incomparable
swimmer
,
that
was
known
,
but
the
doctor
judged
that
this
instance
testified
to
a
still
greater
intrepidity
of
spirit
.
It
was
pleasing
to
him
;
he
augured
well
from
it
for
the
success
of
the
arduous
mission
with
which
he
meant
to
entrust
the
Capataz
so
marvellously
restored
to
usefulness
.
And
in
a
tone
vaguely
gratified
,
he
observed
--
