Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


Mrs Verloc, undoing some hooks of her bodice, while she went on staring
ahead beyond the splashboard, handed over to him the new pigskin pocket-
book. He received it without a word, and seemed to plunge it deep
somewhere into his very breast. Then he slapped his coat on the outside.


All this was done without the exchange of a single glance; they were like
two people looking out for the first sight of a desired goal. It was not
till the hansom swung round a corner and towards the bridge that Ossipon
opened his lips again.
