Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


He must have been startled when I sent in my name, for he didn't of
course expect to see me yet--nobody expected me. He advanced soft-
footed down the room. With his jutting nose, flat-topped skull and
sable garments he recalled an obese raven, and when he heard of the
disaster he manifested his astonishment and concern in a most
plebeian manner by a low and expressive whistle. I, of course,
could not share his consternation. My feelings in that connection
were of a different order; but I was annoyed at his unintelligent
stare.
