Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Mrs Verloc looked at him placidly.


"You came over from the Continent?" she said after a time.


The long, thin stranger, without exactly looking at Mrs Verloc, answered
only by a faint and peculiar smile.


Mrs Verloc's steady, incurious gaze rested on him.


"You understand English, don't you?"


"Oh yes. I understand English."
