1 They had been talking about Kurtz.
2 As to me, I seemed to see Kurtz for the first time.
3 I interrupted him by saying I had heard of Mr. Kurtz on the coast.
4 I was then rather excited at the prospect of meeting Kurtz very soon.
5 I had plenty of time for meditation, and now and then I would give some thought to Kurtz.
6 I would not have gone so far as to fight for Kurtz, but I went for him near enough to a lie.
7 Towards the evening of the second day we judged ourselves about eight miles from Kurtz's station.

16 Then he began again, assuring me Mr. Kurtz was the best agent he had, an exceptional man, of the greatest importance to the Company; therefore I could understand his anxiety.
17 I fretted and fumed and took to arguing with myself whether or no I would talk openly with Kurtz; but before I could come to any conclusion it occurred to me that my speech or my silence, indeed any action of mine, would be a mere futility.
