What
I
wanted
to
tell
you
is
this
:
Our
great
Nostromo
did
not
take
much
notice
of
the
old
man
and
the
children
for
some
years
.
It
's
true
,
too
,
that
he
was
away
on
his
coasting
voyages
certainly
ten
months
out
of
the
twelve
.
He
was
making
his
fortune
,
as
he
told
Captain
Mitchell
once
.
He
seems
to
have
done
uncommonly
well
.
It
was
only
to
be
expected
.
He
is
a
man
full
of
resource
,
full
of
confidence
in
himself
,
ready
to
take
chances
and
risks
of
every
sort
.
I
remember
being
in
Mitchell
's
office
one
day
,
when
he
came
in
with
that
calm
,
grave
air
he
always
carries
everywhere
.
He
had
been
away
trading
in
the
Gulf
of
California
,
he
said
,
looking
straight
past
us
at
the
wall
,
as
his
manner
is
,
and
was
glad
to
see
on
his
return
that
a
lighthouse
was
being
built
on
the
cliff
of
the
Great
Isabel
.
Very
glad
,
he
repeated
.
Mitchell
explained
that
it
was
the
O.
S.
N.
Co.
who
was
building
it
,
for
the
convenience
of
the
mail
service
,
on
his
own
advice
.
Captain
Fidanza
was
good
enough
to
say
that
it
was
excellent
advice
.
I
remember
him
twisting
up
his
moustaches
and
looking
all
round
the
cornice
of
the
room
before
he
proposed
that
old
Giorgio
should
be
made
the
keeper
of
that
light
.
"
"
I
heard
of
this
.
I
was
consulted
at
the
time
,
"
Mrs.
Gould
said
.
"
I
doubted
whether
it
would
be
good
for
these
girls
to
be
shut
up
on
that
island
as
if
in
a
prison
.
"
"
The
proposal
fell
in
with
the
old
Garibaldino
's
humour
.
As
to
Linda
,
any
place
was
lovely
and
delightful
enough
for
her
as
long
as
it
was
Nostromo
's
suggestion
.
She
could
wait
for
her
Gian
'
Battista
's
good
pleasure
there
as
well
as
anywhere
else
.
My
opinion
is
that
she
was
always
in
love
with
that
incorruptible
Capataz
.
Moreover
,
both
father
and
sister
were
anxious
to
get
Giselle
away
from
the
attentions
of
a
certain
Ramirez
.
"
"
Ah
!
"
said
Mrs.
Gould
,
interested
.
"
Ramirez
?
What
sort
of
man
is
that
?
"
"
Just
a
mozo
of
the
town
.
His
father
was
a
Cargador
.
As
a
lanky
boy
he
ran
about
the
wharf
in
rags
,
till
Nostromo
took
him
up
and
made
a
man
of
him
.
When
he
got
a
little
older
,
he
put
him
into
a
lighter
and
very
soon
gave
him
charge
of
the
No.
3
boat
--
the
boat
which
took
the
silver
away
,
Mrs.
Gould
.
Nostromo
selected
that
lighter
for
the
work
because
she
was
the
best
sailing
and
the
strongest
boat
of
all
the
Company
's
fleet
.
Young
Ramirez
was
one
of
the
five
Cargadores
entrusted
with
the
removal
of
the
treasure
from
the
Custom
House
on
that
famous
night
.
As
the
boat
he
had
charge
of
was
sunk
,
Nostromo
,
on
leaving
the
Company
's
service
,
recommended
him
to
Captain
Mitchell
for
his
successor
.
He
had
trained
him
in
the
routine
of
work
perfectly
,
and
thus
Mr.
Ramirez
,
from
a
starving
waif
,
becomes
a
man
and
the
Capataz
of
the
Sulaco
Cargadores
.
"
"
Thanks
to
Nostromo
,
"
said
Mrs.
Gould
,
with
warm
approval
.
"
Thanks
to
Nostromo
,
"
repeated
Dr.
Monygham
.
"
Upon
my
word
,
the
fellow
's
power
frightens
me
when
I
think
of
it
.
That
our
poor
old
Mitchell
was
only
too
glad
to
appoint
somebody
trained
to
the
work
,
who
saved
him
trouble
,
is
not
surprising
.
What
is
wonderful
is
the
fact
that
the
Sulaco
Cargadores
accepted
Ramirez
for
their
chief
,
simply
because
such
was
Nostromo
's
good
pleasure
.
Of
course
,
he
is
not
a
second
Nostromo
,
as
he
fondly
imagined
he
would
be
;
but
still
,
the
position
was
brilliant
enough
.
It
emboldened
him
to
make
up
to
Giselle
Viola
,
who
,
you
know
,
is
the
recognized
beauty
of
the
town
.
The
old
Garibaldino
,
however
,
took
a
violent
dislike
to
him
.
I
do
n't
know
why
.
Perhaps
because
he
was
not
a
model
of
perfection
like
his
Gian
'
Battista
,
the
incarnation
of
the
courage
,
the
fidelity
,
the
honour
of
'
the
people
.
'
Signor
Viola
does
not
think
much
of
Sulaco
natives
.
Both
of
them
,
the
old
Spartan
and
that
white-faced
Linda
,
with
her
red
mouth
and
coal-black
eyes
,
were
looking
rather
fiercely
after
the
fair
one
.
Ramirez
was
warned
off
.
Father
Viola
,
I
am
told
,
threatened
him
with
his
gun
once
.
