His prominent, heavy-lidded eyes rolled sideways…

Track length8:14

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 2

Track length7:08

$2.00

$2.60

The polished knockers of the doors gleamed…

Track length6:04

$1.00

$1.30

'We are not very satisfied with the attitude of the police here,'…

Track length6:23

$1.00

$1.30

Mr. Vladimir, First Secretary, had a drawing-room reputation…

Track length6:46

$1.00

$1.30

This flight of fancy provoked something like a faint smile…

Track length6:36

$1.00

$1.30

'You give yourself for an "agent provocateur".'

Track length7:25

$2.00

$2.60

Mr. Vladimir shrugged his shoulders.

Track length7:43

$2.00

$2.60

A murderous attempt on a restaurant or a theatre…

Track length8:44

$2.00

$2.60

This perfectly gratuitous suggestion caused Mr. Verloc…

Track length5:40

$1.00

$1.30

The theory was that Mr Verloc would have been inexpressibly…

Track length5:20

$1.00

$1.30

Chapter 3

Track length8:10

$2.00

$2.60

Michaelis pursued his idea – the idea of his solitary reclusion…

Track length8:01

$2.00

$2.60

The famous terrorist had never in his life raised…

Track length7:10

$2.00

$2.60

Michaelis gave no sign of having heard anything.

Track length8:35

$2.00

$2.60

Positively he did not know how to speak to the lad.

Track length6:01

$1.00

$1.30

Mr. Verloc, in the same position, cleared his throat…

Track length6:33

$1.00

$1.30

Chapter 4

Track length8:39

$2.00

$2.60

'Proof of what? Dealing in explosives…'

Track length8:51

$2.00

$2.60

Ossipon could not restrain a start of indignation.

Track length8:04

$2.00

$2.60

The little man seemed already to have considered that point…

Track length7:43

$2.00

$2.60

'He told me it was going to be a demonstration…'

Track length8:37

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 5

Track length7:28

$2.00

$2.60

In the dark patches of the orbits the eyeballs glimmered…

Track length7:24

$2.00

$2.60

Chief Inspector Heat, an efficient officer of his department…

Track length7:54

$2.00

$2.60

A convenient train whirled him up to town…

Track length7:01

$2.00

$2.60

But the reception they got departed from tradition…

Track length7:44

$2.00

$2.60

Catching thieves was another matter altogether.

Track length5:50

$1.00

$1.30

The near presence of that strange emotional phenomenon…

Track length5:55

$1.00

$1.30

He entered his club to play from five to seven…

Track length1:26

$1.00

$1.30

Chapter 6

Track length7:38

$2.00

$2.60

If he could not give the great and curious lady…

Track length8:29

$2.00

$2.60

The disappearance of the last piece of money…

Track length7:20

$2.00

$2.60

He caught on the latter's face not only the complacency…

Track length7:25

$2.00

$2.60

His Chief Inspector, if not an absolutely worthy foeman…

Track length8:03

$2.00

$2.60

Moreover, besides being legal and expedient…

Track length7:49

$2.00

$2.60

But it was immediately followed by the reflection…

Track length8:40

$2.00

$2.60

No later than next afternoon my man turned up…

Track length8:03

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 7

Track length9:06

$2.00

$2.60

'However, this is an imperfect world…'

Track length7:48

$2.00

$2.60

I want your authority to give him such assurances…

Track length6:59

$1.00

$1.30

'He's ready to go now,' he exclaimed in a whisper…

Track length5:06

$1.00

$1.30

He was satisfied by the subtle modification…

Track length5:57

$1.00

$1.30

Chapter 8

Track length7:17

$2.00

$2.60

A division, on the other hand…

Track length7:12

$2.00

$2.60

The cabby turned at him…

Track length6:49

$1.00

$1.30

As regards Winnie's sisterly devotion…

Track length6:40

$1.00

$1.30

Before the door of one of these tiny houses…

Track length6:14

$1.00

$1.30

Stevie, though apt to forget mere facts…

Track length7:40

$2.00

$2.60

It was a bad world. Bad! Bad!

Track length5:43

$1.00

$1.30

She cast a swift glance at the boy…

Track length8:17

$2.00

$2.60

This speech, becoming the solicitude of the wife…

Track length7:55

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 9

Track length7:40

$2.00

$2.60

But, in truth, Stevie moped in the striking fashion…

Track length7:07

$2.00

$2.60

'You too seem to have grown quite fond of him of late,'…

Track length7:09

$2.00

$2.60

'I don't know what you mean,' remarked his wife…

Track length7:02

$2.00

$2.60

But talking round that vital point…

Track length7:17

$2.00

$2.60

Mr. Verloc had done no more than put on his overcoat.

Track length6:44

$1.00

$1.30

Private Citizen Heat entered the street…

Track length7:19

$2.00

$2.60

'Michaelis,' confessed Mrs. Verloc…

Track length7:39

$2.00

$2.60

Mrs. Verloc pressed her ear to the keyhole…

Track length7:37

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 10

Track length7:30

$2.00

$2.60

The great man manifested no surprise…

Track length7:14

$2.00

$2.60

'Pardon me. I don't think so.'

Track length9:04

$2.00

$2.60

He left the drawing-room hurriedly…

Track length8:17

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 11

Track length6:13

$1.00

$1.30

He noticed all these things now for the first time…

Track length8:23

$2.00

$2.60

In all the eventualities he had foreseen…

Track length6:48

$1.00

$1.30

He perceived that his wife had sat up.

Track length6:10

$1.00

$1.30

Mrs. Verloc, in common with other human beings…

Track length7:19

$2.00

$2.60

'Might have been father and son.'

Track length8:21

$2.00

$2.60

'You must reckon on me being two years away from you,'…

Track length8:02

$2.00

$2.60

This shaking piece of forgetfulness stimulated Mrs. Verloc's intelligence.

Track length8:03

$2.00

$2.60

This man, hurt cruelly in his vanity…

Track length8:06

$2.00

$2.60

They were spoken because Mr. Verloc…

Track length8:57

$2.00

$2.60

Mrs. Verloc was coming.

Track length8:03

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 12

Track length7:40

$2.00

$2.60

She floundered over the doorstep head forward…

Track length6:49

$1.00

$1.30

In comparison with his usual amatory speculations…

Track length5:16

$1.00

$1.30

Ossipon let that pass, and took up his running.

Track length5:54

$1.00

$1.30

There were suggestions of triumph, relief…

Track length8:41

$2.00

$2.60

Suddenly she clutched at her breast…

Track length7:27

$2.00

$2.60

A yell coming from the innermost depths of his chest…

Track length8:14

$2.00

$2.60

Ossipon groped his way back through the stuffy atmosphere…

Track length6:53

$1.00

$1.30

Mrs. Verloc, as if relieved by the outburst…

Track length7:34

$2.00

$2.60

In the other case I mean if he had his account…

Track length6:02

$1.00

$1.30

He spoke scientifically in his secret fear.

Track length8:04

$2.00

$2.60

Chapter 13

Track length7:00

$2.00

$2.60

But rolling to the feast on the top of the omnibus…

Track length8:05

$2.00

$2.60

The stewardess fetched the chief steward…
