Quotes

    charming and experienced woman like Brenda Last is just the person to help him. He’s got a very affectionate nature, but he’s so sensitive that he hardly ever lets it appear… to tell you the truth I felt something of the kind was in the air last week, so I made an excuse to go away for a few days.

    himself in deep water and attempted to swim, found himself among boulders again and attempted to grapple with them. Then he reached the falls.

    They were unspectacular as falls go in that country—a drop of ten feet or less—but they were enough for Dr. Messinger. At their foot the foam subsided into a great pool, almost still, and strewn with blossom from the forest trees that encircled it. Dr. Messinger’s hat floated very slowly towards the Amazon and the water closed over his bald head.

    no mention of emotions or expressions making it seem very to the paint factual
    I almost missed it

    He had picked up bêtes rouges in the bush and they were crawling and burrowing under his skin; the bitter oil which Dr. Messinger had given him as protection, had set up a rash of its own wherever he had applied it. Every evening after washing he had burned off a few ticks with a cigarette end but they had left irritable little scars behind them; so had the djiggas which one of the black boys had dug out from under his toe

    Clearly not fully prepared
    Dr is unreliable
