Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Oh, yes," I said, "I have nothing to do and even nothing to think
of just now, I will meet your man as he gets off the train at ten
o'clock to-night. What's he like?"


"Oh, he has a black moustache and whiskers, and his chin is
shaved," said the newly-fledged baron cordially. "A very honest
fellow. I always found him very useful. His name is Jose Ortega."


He was perfectly self-possessed now, and walking soft-footed
accompanied me to the door of the room. He shook hands with a
melancholy smile. "This is a very frightful situation. My poor
wife will be quite distracted. She is such a patriot. Many
thanks, Don George. You relieve me greatly. The fellow is rather
stupid and rather bad-tempered. Queer creature, but very honest!
Oh, very honest!"
