"Without doubt."
"But first," said Falmouth, with an air of grave sarcasm, "I must declare to you that I am not the least in the world friendly to the Greeks; on the contrary, I have a leaning, and a very marked inclination towards the Turks."
"What?" I said to him, in astonishment. "And what connection is there between our journey and the Turks or friendliness towards the Greeks?"
"A very simple connection: I am going to propose to you to go to Greece."
"For what?"
"Have you heard of Canaris?" said Falmouth.
"Of that intrepid corsair, who has already burned all the Turkish vessels with his fireships? Certainly."
"Ah, well, and have you never been tempted to go to see that?"
"But go to see what?"
"Go to see Canaris set fire to a Turkish vessel?" replied Falmouth, with the most indifferent air in the world, and as if it had been a question of taking part in a race, or visiting a manufactory.
