The Crying of Lot 49 Group Read 2024

[Joseph Tracy]

Could you give 3 words of a sentence? I cannot find anything very like this. The closest I found was below, which does not have the same implications. Definitely not the 'no resistance against any answer'. 

	"Here in San Francisco, away from all tangible assets of that estate, there might still be a chance of getting 
	the whole thing to go away and disintegrate quietly. She had only to drift tonight, at random, and watch nothing happen, 
	to be convinced it was purely nervous, a little something for her shrink to fix."
