Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Generally we used to step on the quay together and I never failed
to enter for a moment Madame Leonore's cafe. But this time when I
got on the quay Dominic was nowhere to be seen. What was it?
Abandonment--discretion--or had he quarrelled with his Leonore
before leaving on the trip?


My way led me past the cafe and through the glass panes I saw that
he was already there. On the other side of the little marble table
Madame Leonore, leaning with mature grace on her elbow, was
listening to him absorbed. Then I passed on and--what would you
have!--I ended by making my way into the street of the Consuls. I
had nowhere else to go. There were my things in the apartment on
the first floor. I couldn't bear the thought of meeting anybody I
knew.
