Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad

"Will you let me suggest," said Mills, with a grave, kindly face,
"that being what you are, you have nothing to fear?"


"And perhaps nothing to lose," she went on without bitterness.
"No. It isn't fear. It's a sort of dread. You must remember that
no nun could have had a more protected life. Henry Allegre had his
greatness. When he faced the world he also masked it. He was big
enough for that. He filled the whole field of vision for me."
