Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


I felt convinced that he was no proper person to be a messenger to
headquarters. He struck me as altogether untrustworthy and perhaps
not quite sane. This was confirmed by him saying suddenly with no
visible connection and as if it had been forced from him by some
agonizing process: "I was a boy once," and then stopping dead
short with a smile. He had a smile that frightened one by its
association of malice and anguish.


"Will you have anything more to eat?" I asked.
