Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"You are very young," he remarked, to begin with. "The matters on
which I desired to converse with you are very grave."


"I was under the impression that your Excellency wished to see me
at once. But if your Excellency prefers it I will return in, say,
seven years' time when I may perhaps be old enough to talk about
grave matters."


He didn't stir hand or foot and not even the quiver of an eyelid
proved that he had heard my shockingly unbecoming retort.
