Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Ossipon groped his way back through the stuffy atmosphere, as black as
ink now, to the counter. The voice of Mrs Verloc, standing in the middle
of the shop, vibrated after him in that blackness with a desperate
protest.


"I will not be hanged, Tom. I will not--"


She broke off. Ossipon from the counter issued a warning: "Don't shout
like this," then seemed to reflect profoundly. "You did this thing quite
by yourself?" he inquired in a hollow voice, but with an appearance of
masterful calmness which filled Mrs Verloc's heart with grateful
confidence in his protecting strength.
