Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


At this the other was heard plainly, "No, no," and then a little
lower, "You have no tact, Rita. . . ." Then came her argument in a
low, penetrating voice which I caught, "Why not? Between such old
friends." However, she waved away the hand-bag, he calmed down,
and their voices sank again. Presently I saw him raise her hand to
his lips, while with her back to the room she continued to
contemplate out of the window the bare and untidy garden. At last
he went out of the room, throwing to the table an airy "Bonjour,
bonjour," which was not acknowledged by any of us three.
