The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Almayer's Folly by Joseph Conrad: and the new faith--with calm submission, concealing her hate and
contempt for all that new life. She learned the language very
easily, yet understood but little of the new faith the good
sisters taught her, assimilating quickly only the superstitious
elements of the religion. She called Lingard father, gently and
caressingly, at each of his short and noisy visits, under the
clear impression that he was a great and dangerous power it was
good to propitiate. Was he not now her master? And during those
long four years she nourished a hope of finding favour in his
eyes and ultimately becoming his wife, counsellor, and guide.
Those dreams of the future were dispelled by the Rajah Laut's
Almayer's Folly |
