Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Mrs Verloc, as if relieved by the outburst, was very far from behaving
noisily now. She was pitiful.


"Tom, you can't throw me off now," she murmured from the floor. "Not
unless you crush my head under your heel. I won't leave you."


"Get up," said Ossipon.


His face was so pale as to be quite visible in the profound black
darkness of the shop; while Mrs Verloc, veiled, had no face, almost no
discernible form. The trembling of something small and white, a flower
in her hat, marked her place, her movements.
