Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"She is asleep," she said. "We shall talk of her tomorrow."


She could not bear to look at him. He filled her with terror and with an
almost unbearable feeling of pity. She had observed the change that came
over him. He would never understand what he had done; and even to her
the whole thing remained incomprehensible. He said with difficulty--


"Give me the book."


Linda laid on the table the closed volume in its worn leather cover, the
Bible given him ages ago by an Englishman in Palermo.
