Résumé

I returned from Greytown and the waters of the San Juan to St. Thomas, spending a few days at Aspinwall and Panama on my journey, as I have before explained; and on this occasion, that of my fourth visit to St. Thomas, I was happy enough to escape without any long stay there. My course now lay to the Bermudas, to which islands a steamer runs once a month from that disagreeable little depot of steam navigation. But as this boat is fitted to certain arrivals and despatches, not at St. Thomas, but at Halifax, and as we reached St. Thomas late on the night of the day on which she should have sailed, and as my missing that vessel would have entailed on me another month's sojourn, and that a summer month, among those islands, it may be imagined that I was rather lively on entering the harbour; — keenly lively to ascertain whether the 'Delta,' such is the name of the Bermuda boat, was or was not gone on her mission.

Auteur

Anthony Trollope (auteur)

Écrivain victorien, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) a laissé une oeuvre considérable : des livres de voyage, une autobiographie, des études littéraires, de très nombreuses nouvelles et près de cinquante romans. Deux cycles de romans évoquent les luttes de clan pour obtenir le pouvoir : les intrigues ecclésiastiques dans le comté imaginaire du Barset (Barsetshire Novels) et la vie politique à Westminster, autour du personnage de Plantagenet Palliser (Palliser Novels).
