Conrad, after all, did sail down the Congo in 1890
when my own father was still a babe in arms. How
could I stand up more than fifty years after his death
and purport to contradict him? My answer is that as a
sensible man I will not accept just any traveller's tales
solely on the grounds that I have not made the journey
myself. I will not trust the evidence even of a man's
very eyes when I suspect them to be as jaundiced as
Conrad's.

when my own father was still a babe in arms. How

could I stand up more than fifty years after his death

and purport to contradict him? My answer is that as a

sensible man I will not accept just any traveller's tales

solely on the grounds that I have not made the journey

myself. I will not trust the evidence even of a man's

very eyes when I suspect them to be as jaundiced as

Conrad's.
