There is also, as the young Englishman, new to Africa, proceeds toward moral degeneration, frequent mention of "damp rot."

All five were comparative nobodies, the most prominent being Sir Alfred Butt, theatrical producer, and Sir Newton J. Moore, who twice upon a time was Premier of the province of Western Australia.

...make scenarios out of Conrad's books. The adventurous and fantastic shell of the story has been preserved; the thought that burned behind Conrad's carved phrases and balanced sentences like light behind a stained glass window, making the queer figures in the glass live after a fashion, is gone. Nancy Carroll is a girl who plays the violin and sings in Zangiacomo's Ladies' Orchestra in a South Sea island hotel run by a man named Schomberg.
