Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"But you are very brave," I chaffed her, "for you didn't expect a
ring, and after all it might have been the devil who pulled the
bell."


"It might have been. But a poor girl like me is not afraid of the
devil. I have a pure heart. I have been to confession last
evening. No. But it might have been an assassin that pulled the
bell ready to kill a poor harmless woman. This is a very lonely
street. What could prevent you to kill me now and then walk out
again free as air?"
