This, sir, is a library, which would more than honor a continental palace. You may guess my amazement to find it following you to the floors of the ocean
But where else could one find greater solitude
What a collection, my quaint library back home is many a book from rivaling this
There are 12 thousand volumes present here, enough to even make the greatest collectors envious
Thank you sir...
And what kind of host would I be if to not to let these books be used freely at your disposal
Now, I'm afraid I have matters to attend to, my associate here will stay with you a while
I feel sorry for you, but I must say that I am glad it is you and not me
I miss the days of discovery and adventure... but now I have read every book in this chamber more then once.
M. Aronnax, if you would follow me, I would be delighted to show you the rest of the ship
well, I must be off then, wouldn't want to keep Captain Nemo waiting.
the same to you, and I look forward to that second meeting
Inspired by pg. 82 of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea written by Jules Vern
yes... uh indeed, a pleasure to meet you M. Aronnax, and I hope we may have time to speak in the future
