He's always having some bits sent to him, and I believe he passes whole hours piecing it together. It's his great hobby. He won't have a morsel that is not properly authenticated.
Borso shrugged. "Well, it is your affair not mine," he said. Then he changed his tone. "I think, however, we will come back to what is my affair as well as yours.

At the same time he made many gestures, pointing to the ship, to himself and to Mark. "What is he saying, professor?" asked Jack. "I can't understand all he says," Mr. Henderson replied. "He uses some words derived from the Latin and some from the Greek. But by piecing it out here and there, and by interpreting his motions I am able to get at something." "And what is it all about?"
