Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


With a note of proud humility Mr Verloc apologised for forgetting
himself. His voice,--famous for years at open-air meetings and at
workmen's assemblies in large halls, had contributed, he said, to his
reputation of a good and trustworthy comrade. It was, therefore, a part
of his usefulness. It had inspired confidence in his principles. "I was
always put up to speak by the leaders at a critical moment," Mr Verloc
declared, with obvious satisfaction. There was no uproar above which he
could not make himself heard, he added; and suddenly he made a
demonstration.
