Niven

Niven has created an unredeemable monster of a narrator, but a very funny one, indeed.

Did I tell you of a female relative, Niven (whom he would never see), saying that she would come and streek him after he died?

It was very hot in the little West African factory where trader Niven lay dying.

Niven was well known in this afflicted colony years ago, and there is gold up yonder.

Turning presently, he saw that Niven was wide awake and looking out to sea.

Niven sank into sleep or unconsciousness presently, and Maxwell sat beside him considering what he had heard.
