Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


He was very small, frail, and thin, but his voice was not languid,
though he spoke hardly above his breath. Such was the envelope and
the voice of the fanatical soul belonging to the Grand-master of
Ceremonies and Captain General of the Bodyguard at the Headquarters
of the Legitimist Court, now detached on a special mission. He was
all fidelity, inflexibility, and sombre conviction, but like some
great saints he had very little body to keep all these merits in.
