Conseil
had
followed
me
for
the
last
ten
years
wherever
science
led
.
Never
once
did
he
complain
of
the
length
or
fatigue
of
a
journey
,
never
make
an
objection
to
pack
his
portmanteau
for
whatever
country
it
might
be
,
or
however
far
away
,
whether
China
or
Congo
.
Besides
all
this
,
he
had
good
health
,
which
defied
all
sickness
,
and
solid
muscles
,
but
no
nerves
;
good
morals
are
understood
.
This
boy
was
thirty
years
old
,
and
his
age
to
that
of
his
master
as
fifteen
to
twenty
.
May
I
be
excused
for
saying
that
I
was
forty
years
old
?
52
But
Conseil
had
one
fault
:
he
was
ceremonious
to
a
degree
,
and
would
never
speak
to
me
but
in
the
third
person
,
which
was
sometimes
provoking
.
53
"
Conseil
,
"
said
I
again
,
beginning
with
feverish
hands
to
make
preparations
for
my
departure
.

Certainly
I
was
sure
of
this
devoted
boy
.
As
a
rule
,
I
never
asked
him
if
it
were
convenient
for
him
or
not
to
follow
me
in
my
travels
;
but
this
time
the
expedition
in
question
might
be
prolonged
,
and
the
enterprise
might
be
hazardous
in
pursuit
of
an
animal
capable
of
sinking
a
frigate
as
easily
as
a
nutshell
.
Here
there
was
matter
for
reflection
even
to
the
most
impassive
man
in
the
world
.
What
would
Conseil
say
?
55
"
Conseil
,
"
I
called
a
third
time
.
56
Conseil
appeared
.
57
"
Did
you
call
,
sir
?
"
said
he
,
entering
.

"
Yes
,
my
boy
;
make
preparations
for
me
and
yourself
too
.
We
leave
in
two
hours
.
"
59
"
As
you
please
,
sir
,
"
replied
Conseil
,
quietly
.
60
"
Not
an
instant
to
lose
;
lock
in
my
trunk
all
travelling
utensils
,
coats
,
shirts
,
and
stockings
--
without
counting
,
as
many
as
you
can
,
and
make
haste
.
