Conseil

Conseil is a main character in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.

Description
  Conseil was my servant, a true, devoted Flemish boy, who had accompanied me in all my travels. I liked him, and returned the liking well. He was phlegmatic by nature, regular from principle, zealous from habit, evincing little disturbance at the different surprises of life, very quick with his hands, and apt at any service required of him; and, despite his name, never giving advice-even when asked for it.''

''Conseil had followed me for the last ten years where science led. Never once did he complain of the length or fatigue of journey, never make and objection to pack his portmanteau for whatever country it might be, or however far away, wether China or Congo. Besides all this, he had good health, which defied all sickness, and solid muscles, but no nerves; good morals are understood. This boy was thirty years old, and his to that of master as fifteen to twenty. May I be excused for saying that I was forty years old?''

''But Conseil had one fault, he was ceremonious to one degree, and would never speak to me but in the third person, which was sometimes provoking.  Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, Chapter III; I Form My Resolution
