Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad

The sound of this name thrilled Comrade Ossipon with pride. For his name
was Alexander, and he was called Tom by arrangement with the most
familiar of his intimates. It was a name of friendship--of moments of
expansion. He had no idea that she had ever heard it used by anybody. It
was apparent that she had not only caught it, but had treasured it in her
memory--perhaps in her heart.
