Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad

"Before she left the house she gave me that arrow she used to wear
in her hair to hand over to you as a keepsake and also to prevent
you, she said, from dreaming of her. This message sounds rather
cryptic."

"Oh, I understand perfectly," said Monsieur George. "Don't give me
the thing now. Leave it somewhere where I can find it some day
when I am alone. But when you write to her you may tell her that
now at last--surer than Mr. Blunt's bullet--the arrow has found its
mark. There will be no more dreaming. Tell her. She will
understand."
