Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


It was all apparently very innocent talk. He informed his "dear
Rita" that he was really on his way to Monte Carlo. A lifelong
habit of his at this time of the year; but he was ready to run back
to Paris if he could do anything for his "chere enfant," run back
for a day, for two days, for three days, for any time; miss Monte
Carlo this year altogether, if he could be of the slightest use and
save her going herself. For instance he could see to it that
proper watch was kept over the Pavilion stuffed with all these art
treasures. What was going to happen to all those things? . . .
Making herself heard for the first time Dona Rita murmured without
moving that she had made arrangements with the police to have it
properly watched. And I was enchanted by the almost imperceptible
play of her lips.
