Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


The shoulders of Mr Verloc, without actually moving, suggested a shrug.
And for the first time since he left his home that morning his lips
opened.


"Every country has its police," he said philosophically. But as the
official of the Embassy went on blinking at him steadily he felt
constrained to add: "Allow me to observe that I have no means of action
upon the police here."


"What is desired," said the man of papers, "is the occurrence of
something definite which should stimulate their vigilance. That is
within your province--is it not so?"
