Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


The shop seemed to be quite dark at first. The door stood ajar. Mrs
Verloc, leaning against the front, gasped out:


"Nobody has been in. Look! The light--the light in the parlour."


Ossipon, stretching his head forward, saw a faint gleam in the darkness
of the shop.


"There is," he said.


"I forgot it." Mrs Verloc's voice came from behind her veil faintly. And
as he stood waiting for her to enter first, she said louder: "Go in and
put it out--or I'll go mad."
