Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Let me tell you, Winnie," he said with authority, "that your place is
here this evening. Hang it all! you brought the damned police high and
low about my ears. I don't blame you--but it's your doing all the same.
You'd better take this confounded hat off. I can't let you go out, old
girl," he added in a softened voice.


Mrs Verloc's mind got hold of that declaration with morbid tenacity. The
man who had taken Stevie out from under her very eyes to murder him in a
locality whose name was at the moment not present to her memory would not
allow her go out. Of course he wouldn't.
