Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Mr Vladimir observed the forced expression of bewilderment on Verloc's
face, and smiled sarcastically.


"I see that you understand me perfectly. I daresay you are intelligent
enough for your work. What we want now is activity--activity."


On repeating this last word Mr Vladimir laid a long white forefinger on
the edge of the desk. Every trace of huskiness disappeared from Verloc's
voice. The nape of his gross neck became crimson above the velvet collar
of his overcoat. His lips quivered before they came widely open.
