Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"He has run me to earth," said Dona Rita. "One would bargain for
peace against hard cash if these fellows weren't always ready to
snatch at one's very soul with the other hand. It frightens me."


Her voice floated mysterious and penetrating from her lips, which
moved very little. Mills was watching her with sympathetic
curiosity. Mr. Blunt muttered: "Better not make the brute angry."
For a moment Dona Rita's face, with its narrow eyes, its wide brow,
and high cheek bones, became very still; then her colour was a
little heightened. "Oh," she said softly, "let him come in. He
would be really dangerous if he had a mind--you know," she said to
Mills.
