The Nutmeg of Consolation, by Patrick O'Brian The last one in Malay, hiburan..., Stephen translates as nutmeg of consolation, so they are not in the same order. We've identified a number of places in the canon where POB shows animal behavior that mimics the behavior of his characters; the easiest to recognize, perhaps, is when Yardo the Parish Bull is on stage and the cow has nothing to say to him. Nutmeg shows the old processes in reverse: Stephen is now Padeen's protector, and in the climactic platypus scene, Padeen achieves his freedom at last, but nearly at the cost of Stephen's life. jfinnera.www1.50megs.com /Nutmeg.htm   (4967 words)

The Student Store - The Nutmeg of Consolation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) If the essence of the writer's craft is to create and maintain tension, to keep the reader riveted, to entertain, to inform, then even the most avid O'Brien fan must admit that The Nutmeg of Consolation falls short. I will admit that I found some of the Aussie argot amusing, as when we learn that "purple dromedaries" translates as "little, small, bungling pickpockets." But trudging through the final chapters alongside colorless protagonists, I am sure that the reader will be as happy as are the protagonists themselves by the prospect of returning home. After a long chase of a French privateer and the reuniting with the Surprise, the rest of the novel focuses on a trip to Botany Bay, the novel ending suddenly after a near fatal encounter by Stephen with a male duckbilled platypus. astore.amazon.com /gp/detail.html?tag=studentstore-20&linkCode=sb1&camp=212353&creative=380565&asin=0393309061   (1193 words)

Ex Libris Reviews: 1 May 2002 The only excuse I'm able to see for it, plot-wise, is that the book is somewhat the story of Fox, the King's envoy, and Fox perishes in the same storm that leaves our heroes stranded. The Nutmeg of Consolation is still a gripping and pleasing narrative. The logic of the standard plot might be absent, but there is still the logic of the lives of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. www.wjduquette.com /exlibris/ex20020501.html   (4559 words)

Isengard.Gov: May 2004 As the Nutmeg of Consolation pushed 2 knots today 3 points off a weak Southwesterly, I beheld the large sloop-rigged yacht sharing my bearing off what I like to call Doggie Head, just past the NOAA station. A beautiful day it was, as you can see, but as I lowered the 500 lb riveted, wood and glass sloop into the water with an unassuming hand truck (and pulling the neat trick of not having a heart attack in the process) the wind naturally died.

John Quiggin: What I'm reading I particularly enjoyed Aubrey's role as a paternalist squire preventing the enclosure of a local commons - almost the only time in the entire series where he is heroic and successful by land.
