Sample text
Marlow’s description of his gesture is typically self-effacing; he isn’t given to celebrating his own virtues. As a gesture of compassion, his action may not seem like much, but it surpasses anything we’re going to see from the other white men in the novel, who don’t even seem to perceive the Africans as human. Marlow has had enough. He climbs uphill to the Station’s main buildings. Soon he encounters a character who seems to embody the very opposite of all the disorder, ugliness, and futility he’s seen so far.
Marlow has had enough. He climbs uphill to the Station’s main buildings. Soon he encounters a character who seems to embody the very opposite of all the disorder, ugliness, and futility he’s seen so far. The man is wearing snowy white trousers, a light jacket, and polished boots; he has carefully brushed and parted his hair and he’s holding a parasol to protect his skin from the sun. He turns out to be the Company’s’ chief accountant. Before long Marlow has a chance to observe him at his job, and he’s impressed with the precision and neatness with which he manages his paperwork, just as he’s impressed with the appearance that he manages to keep up in the middle of such confusion.

He’s the only example we’ve seen of the “devotion to efficiency” that Marlow said (I, 1) was the only excuse for colonization.
