Quotation from: Lord Jim

Written by: Joseph Conrad


'"What have I done?" she asked with her lips only.


'"You always mistrusted him," I said.


'"He was like the others," she pronounced slowly.


'"Not like the others," I protested, but she continued evenly, without
any feeling--


'"He was false." And suddenly Stein broke in. "No! no! no! My poor
child! . . ." He patted her hand lying passively on his sleeve. "No! no!
Not false! True! True! True!" He tried to look into her stony face. "You
don't understand. Ach! Why you do not understand? . . . Terrible," he
said to me. "Some day she _shall_ understand."
