Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


For this last night of carnival the big house had decorated all its
balconies with rows of coloured paper lanterns right up to the
roof. I led the way to the grand salon, for as to private rooms
they had been all retained days before. There was a great crowd of
people in costume, but by a piece of good luck we managed to secure
a little table in a corner. The revellers, intent on their
pleasure, paid no attention to us. Senor Ortega trod on my heels
and after sitting down opposite me threw an ill-natured glance at
the festive scene. It might have been about half-past ten, then.
