Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Not until Sarah had taken an amazed and horrified departure did
Saxon fling herself on the bed in a convulsion of tears. She had
been ashamed, before, merely of Billy's inhospitality, and
surliness, and unfairness. But she could see, now, the light in
which others looked on the affair. It had not entered Saxon's
head. She was confident that it had not entered Billy's. She knew
his attitude from the first. Always he had opposed taking a
lodger because of his proud faith that his wife should not work.
Only hard times had compelled his consent, and, now that she
looked back, almost had she inveigled him into consenting.
