Moby Dick
what about ahab's habits was mysterious to the sailors on board the ship
chapter 106
chapter 106
From the text:
"With many other particulars concerning Ahab, always had it remained a mystery to some, why it was, that for a certain period, both before and after the sailing of the Pequod, he had hidden himself away with such Grand-Lama-like exclusiveness;
and, for that one interval, sought speechless refuge, as it were, among the marble senate of the dead."
