Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"What I've got against that man Michaelis you mean, sir?"


The Assistant Commissioner watched the bullet head; the points of that
Norse rover's moustache, falling below the line of the heavy jaw; the
whole full and pale physiognomy, whose determined character was marred by
too much flesh; at the cunning wrinkles radiating from the outer corners
of the eyes--and in that purposeful contemplation of the valuable and
trusted officer he drew a conviction so sudden that it moved him like an
inspiration.
