Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


I had recovered sufficiently to ask in a quiet natural voice
whether Dona Rita and Captain Blunt had seen each other.
Apparently they had not seen each other. The polite captain had
looked so stern while packing up his kit that Therese dared not
speak to him at all. And he was in a hurry, too. He had to see
his dear mother off to Paris before his own departure. Very stern.
But he shook her hand with a very nice bow.


Therese elevated her right hand for me to see. It was broad and
short with blunt fingers, as usual. The pressure of Captain
Blunt's handshake had not altered its unlovely shape.
