Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


He was feeling uneasy at the impiety of this refusal. The Padrona
believed in priests, and confessed herself to them. But all women
did that. It could not be of much consequence. And yet his heart felt
oppressed for a moment--at the thought what absolution would mean to her
if she believed in it only ever so little. No matter. It was quite true
that he had given her already the very last moment he could spare.


"You refuse to go?" she gasped. "Ah! you are always yourself, indeed."
