Jules Verne Quote
Help!This was my last cry. My mouth filled with water, I struggled against being drawn the abyss. Suddenly my clothes were seized by a strong hand, and I felt myself quickly drawn up to the surface of the sea; and I heard, yes, I heard these words pronounced in my ear:If master would be so good as to lean on my shoulder, master would swim with much greater ease.I seized with one hand my faithful Conseil's arm. Is it you? said I, you?Myself, answered Conseil; and waiting master's orders.That shock threw you as well as me in the sea?No; but, being in my master's service, I followed him.The worthy fellow thought that was but natural.
