Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Constable!" said Mr Verloc, with no more effort than if he were
whispering; and Mr Vladimir burst into a laugh on seeing the policeman
spin round as if prodded by a sharp instrument. Mr Verloc shut the
window quietly, and returned to the middle of the room.


"With a voice like that," he said, putting on the husky conversational
pedal, "I was naturally trusted. And I knew what to say, too."


Mr Vladimir, arranging his cravat, observed him in the glass over the
mantelpiece.
