Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"You are a dear, ignorant, flighty young gentleman," she said.
"Nobody can tell what a cross my sister is to me except the good
priest in the church where I go every day."


"And the mysterious lady in grey," I suggested sarcastically.


"Such a person might have guessed it," answered Therese, seriously,
"but I told her nothing except that this house had been given me in
full property by our Rita. And I wouldn't have done that if she
hadn't spoken to me of my sister first. I can't tell too many
people about that. One can't trust Rita. I know she doesn't fear
God but perhaps human respect may keep her from taking this house
back from me. If she doesn't want me to talk about her to people
why doesn't she give me a properly stamped piece of paper for it?"
