Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Therese fetched another deep sigh and raising her eyes looked at me
with great attention. I preserved an inscrutable expression, for I
wanted to hear all she had to tell me of Rita. I watched her with
the greatest anxiety composing her face into a cheerful expression.


"So Dona Rita is gone to Paris?" I asked negligently.


"Yes, my dear Monsieur. I believe she went straight to the railway
station from here. When she first got up from the couch she could
hardly stand. But before, while she was drinking the chocolate
which I made for her, I tried to get her to sign a paper giving
over the house to me, but she only closed her eyes and begged me to
try and be a good sister and leave her alone for half an hour. And
she lying there looking as if she wouldn't live a day. But she
always hated me."
