Quotation from: A Set of Six

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"He rose from the table. A waiter hurried up with his overcoat; another
held his hat in readiness.


"But what became of the young lady?" I asked.


"Do you really want to know?" he said, buttoning himself in his fur coat
carefully. "I confess to the small malice of sending her Sevrin's diary.
She went into retirement; then she went to Florence; then she went into
retreat in a convent. I can't tell where she will go next. What does it
matter? Gestures! Gestures! Mere gestures of her class."
