An old friend, Captain Gabriel Renouf of the French merchant marine, introduced him to the family of his brother-in-law. Renouf's eldest sister was the wife of Louis Edward Schmidt, a senior official in the colony; with them lived two other sisters and two brothers. Though the island had been taken over in 1810 by Britain, many of the inhabitants were descendants of the original French colonists, and Conrad's excellent French and perfect manners opened all local salons to him. He became a frequent guest at the Schmidts', where he often met the Misses Renouf. A couple of days before leaving Port Louis, Conrad asked one of the Renouf brothers for the hand of his 26-year-old sister Eugenie. She was already, however, engaged to marry her pharmacist cousin. After the rebuff, Conrad did not pay a farewell visit but sent a polite letter to Gabriel Renouf, saying he would never return to Mauritius and adding that on the day of the wedding his thoughts would be with them. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg/220px-Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="148" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg/330px-Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg/440px-Westbere_House_Geograph-2802100-by-N-Chadwick.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="430" /></a><figcaption>Westbere House, in <a href="/wiki/Canterbury" title="Canterbury">Canterbury</a>, Kent, was once owned by Conrad.

He talked English with a strong accent, as if he tasted his words in his mouth before pronouncing them; but he talked extremely well, though he had always the talk and manner of a foreigner.... He was dressed very carefully in a blue double-breasted jacket. He talked... apparently with great freedom about his life—more ease and freedom indeed than an Englishman would have allowed himself.

[His wife Jessie] seemed a nice and good-looking fat creature, an excellent cook, ... a good and reposeful mattress for this hypersensitive, nerve-wracked man, who did not ask from his wife high intelligence, only an assuagement of life's vibrations.... He made me feel so natural and very much myself, that I was almost afraid of losing the thrill and wonder of being there, although I was vibrating with intense excitement inside .... His eyes under their pent-house lids revealed the suffering and the intensity of his experiences; when he spoke of his work, there came over them a sort of misty, sensuous, dreamy look, but they seemed to hold deep down the ghosts of old adventures and experiences—once or twice there was something in them one almost suspected of being wicked.... But then I believe whatever strange wickedness would tempt this super-subtle Pole, he would be held in restraint by an equally delicate sense of honour.... In his talk he led me along many paths of his life, but I felt that he did not wish to explore the jungle of emotions that lay dense on either side, and that his apparent frankness had a great reserve.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTENajder2007447_289-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENajder2007447-289"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>247<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p></blockquote> <p>A month later, <a href="/wiki/Bertrand_Russell" title="Bertrand Russell">Bertrand Russell</a> visited Conrad at Capel House in Orlestone, and the same day on the train wrote down his impressions: </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg/170px-Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="252" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg/255px-Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg/340px-Honourable_Bertrand_Russell.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1255" data-file-height="1859" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Bertrand_Russell" title="Bertrand Russell">Bertrand Russell</a></figcaption></figure> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>It was <i>wonderful</i>—I <i>loved</i> him & I think he liked me.

The whole affair became... widely known, and all endeavors by... Captain [Escarras] and the ship-owner [Jean-Baptiste Delestang] proved fruitless... and Konrad was forced to stay behind with no hope of serving on French vessels. However, before all this happened another catastrophe—this time financial—befell him. While still in possession of the 3,000 fr[ancs] sent to him for the voyage, he met his former captain, Mr. Duteil, who persuaded him to participate in some enterprise on the coasts of Spain—some kind of contraband! He invested 1,000 fr[ancs] in it and made over 400, which pleased them greatly, so... on the second occasion he put in all he had—and lost the lot. ... Duteil... then went off to <a href="/wiki/Buenos_Aires" title="Buenos Aires">Buenos Aires</a>. ...

Having managed his affairs so excellently, he returns to Marseilles and one fine evening invites his friend the creditor [Fecht] to tea, for an appointed hour, and before his arrival attempts to take his life with a revolver. (Let this detail remain between us, as I have been telling everyone that he was wounded in a duel....) The bullet goes... through... near his heart without damaging any vital organ. Luckily, all his addresses were left on top of his things so that this worthy Mr. Fecht could instantly let me know... ...

Nevertheless, I swore that even if I knew that he would shoot himself a second time—there would be no repetition of the same weakness on my part. To some extent, also, I was influenced by considerations of our national honor, so that it should not be said that one of us had exploited the affection, which Konrad undoubtedly enjoyed, of all those with whom he came into contact.... My study of the Individual has convinced me that he is not a bad boy, only one who is extremely sensitive, conceited, reserved, and in addition excitable. In short, I found in him all the defects of the <i>Nałęcz</i> family. He is able and eloquent—he has forgotten nothing of his Polish although, since he left [Kraków], I was the first person he conversed with in his native tongue.
