Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"I don't think your information is very correct," I said, affecting
to yawn slightly. "This is mere gossip of the gutter and I am
surprised at you, who really know nothing about it--"


But the disgusting animal had fallen into a brown study. The hair
of his very whiskers was perfectly still. I had now given up all
idea of the letter to Rita. Suddenly he spoke again:


"Women are the origin of all evil. One should never trust them.
They have no honour. No honour!" he repeated, striking his breast
with his closed fist on which the knuckles stood out very white.
"I left my village many years ago and of course I am perfectly
satisfied with my position and I don't know why I should trouble my
head about this loyal lady. I suppose that's the way women get on
in the world."
