Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


I said bitterly, "You needn't have worried her like this. If she
had not lived for another day you would have had this house and
everything else besides; a bigger bit than even your wolfish throat
can swallow, Mademoiselle Therese."


I then said a few more things indicative of my disgust with her
rapacity, but they were quite inadequate, as I wasn't able to find
words strong enough to express my real mind. But it didn't matter
really because I don't think Therese heard me at all. She seemed
lost in rapt amazement.
