Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


He was excessively terrified at her--the sister of the degenerate--a
degenerate herself of a murdering type . . . or else of the lying type.
Comrade Ossipon might have been said to be terrified scientifically in
addition to all other kinds of fear. It was an immeasurable and
composite funk, which from its very excess gave him in the dark a false
appearance of calm and thoughtful deliberation. For he moved and spoke
with difficulty, being as if half frozen in his will and mind--and no one
could see his ghastly face. He felt half dead.
