King Leopold's Soliloquy

Dear, dear, when the soft-hearts get hold of thing like that missionary''s contribution they completely lose their tranquility they speak profanely and reproach Heaven for allowing such a find to live. Meaning me . They think it irregular. They go shuddering around, brooding over the reduction of that Congo population from 25,000,000 to 15,000,000 in the twenty years of my administration ; then they burst out and call me the King with Ten Million Murders on his Soul. They call me a ''record''. - From King Leopold''s Soliloquy
