Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"It's a perfect nuisance. We have just dismounted. I will have to
lunch as I am. A lifelong habit of beginning her day on horseback.
She pretends she is unwell unless she does. I daresay, when one
thinks there has been hardly a day for five or six years that she
didn't begin with a ride. That's the reason she is always rushing
away from Paris where she can't go out in the morning alone. Here,
of course, it's different. And as I, too, am a stranger here I can
go out with her. Not that I particularly care to do it."
