Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Here!" said Mr Verloc, giving a slight kick to the gladstone bag on the
floor; and Stevie flung himself upon it, seized it, bore it off with
triumphant devotion. He was so prompt that Mr Verloc was distinctly
surprised.


Already at the clatter of the shop bell Mrs Neale, blackleading the
parlour grate, had looked through the door, and rising from her knees had
gone, aproned, and grimy with everlasting toll, to tell Mrs Verloc in the
kitchen that "there was the master come back."
