Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Under her husband's expressionless stare, and remembering her mother's
empty room across the landing, she felt an acute pang of loneliness. She
had never been parted from her mother before. They had stood by each
other. She felt that they had, and she said to herself that now mother
was gone--gone for good. Mrs Verloc had no illusions. Stevie remained,
however. And she said:


"Mother's done what she wanted to do. There's no sense in it that I can
see. I'm sure she couldn't have thought you had enough of her. It's
perfectly wicked, leaving us like that."
