Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"God sends wrinkles, but what is our face?" she digressed in a tone
of great humility. "We shall have glorious faces in Paradise. But
meantime God has permitted me to preserve a smooth heart."


"Are you going to keep on like this much longer?" I fairly shouted
at her. "What are you talking about?"


"I am talking about the sweet old lady who came in a carriage. Not
a fiacre. I can tell a fiacre. In a little carriage shut in with
glass all in front. I suppose she is very rich. The carriage was
very shiny outside and all beautiful grey stuff inside. I opened
the door to her myself. She got out slowly like a queen. I was
struck all of a heap. Such a shiny beautiful little carriage.
There were blue silk tassels inside, beautiful silk tassels."
