Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad

Mrs Verloc, having hooked her arm into his, was trying to drag him into
Brett Street again.

"I've forgotten to shut the shop door as I went out," she whispered,
terribly agitated.

The shop and all that was in it had ceased to interest Comrade Ossipon.
He knew how to limit his desires. He was on the point of saying "What of
that? Let it be," but he refrained. He disliked argument about trifles.
He even mended his pace considerably on the thought that she might have
left the money in the drawer. But his willingness lagged behind her
feverish impatience.
