A Literary Reference : The Quiet American


I found Mr Chou's godown and mounted to Mr Chou's house. Nothing had changed since my last visit. The cat and the dog moved from floor to cardboard box to suitcase, like a couple of chess knights who cannot get to grips.

Graham Greene, The Quiet American, Penguin, 1967, p.170. (Original date of publication 1955.)
