Maybe I do have a favourite line, but it's the sort of thing that wants thinking about, and maybe a reread of all the books. I do know it's neithr of Ian's.
Maybe " 'Well, I'm jiggered!' said the tall Dutchman." comes close.
Meanwhile I'm just reading Moonfleet for the first time - and finding it excellent - Stevenson with a dash of Hardy - and came across this useful line:
"No man ever perilled his life to bid adieu to an Aunt."
