Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


I let her run on in dread expectation of what she would say next
but she stuck to the subject of Blunt for some time longer. He had
written to her once about some of his things which he wanted her to
send to Paris to his mother's address; but she was going to do
nothing of the kind. She announced this with a pious smile; and in
answer to my questions I discovered that it was a stratagem to make
Captain Blunt return to the house.


"You will get yourself into trouble with the police, Mademoiselle
Therese, if you go on like that," I said. But she was as obstinate
as a mule and assured me with the utmost confidence that many
people would be ready to defend a poor honest girl. There was
something behind this attitude which I could not fathom. Suddenly
she fetched a deep sigh.
