No indeed, my dear Louis, I am neither dead nor ruined, nor have I
turned pirate, trappist, or rural guard, as you might imagine in
order to explain my silence these four months since I last appeared
at your illustrious studio. No, you witty giber, my fabulous
heritage has not taken wings I am dwelling neither in China on the
Blue River, nor in Red Oceania, nor in White Lapland. My yacht,
built of teak, still lies in harbour, and is not swaying me over
the vasty deep. It is no good your spinning out laborious and
far-fetched hyperboles on the subject of my uncle's will: your
ironical shafts all miss the mark. My uncle's will surpasses the
most astonishing feat of its kind ever accomplished by notary's
pen; and your poor imagination could not invent, or come anywhere
near inventing, such remarkable adventures as those into which this
registered document has led me. First of all, in order that your
feeble intellect may be enabled to rise to the level of the
subject, I must give you some description of "the Corsair," as you
called him after you met him in Paris last winter; for it is only
by comprehending the peculiarities of his life and character that
you can ever hope to understand my adventures.
