Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Rare, yes. Even unique," said Mills, looking at her steadily with
a smile. "But don't try to depreciate yourself. You were never

in your books?" she asked.


"As a matter of fact I have," said Mills, with a little laugh,
"found this one in a book. It was a woman who said that of
herself. A woman far from common, who died some few years ago.
She was an actress. A great artist."
