Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Know the woman?" muttered the Chief Inspector, with his eyes fixed on
the table, and a vague notion in his mind of an inquest to be held
presently upon a person likely to remain for ever unknown.


"Yes. She's housekeeper to a retired publican, and attends the chapel in
Park Place sometimes," the constable uttered weightily, and paused, with
another oblique glance at the table.


Then suddenly: "Well, here he is--all of him I could see. Fair.
Slight--slight enough. Look at that foot there. I picked up the legs
first, one after another. He was that scattered you didn't know where to
begin."
