Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Once, Bud Strothers came to see her. She sat in the front room
and talked with him, noting with fascination that there were
fringes to the heels of his trousers. Another day, the business
agent of the union called. She told him, as she had told Bud
Strothers, that everything was all right, that she needed
nothing, that she could get along comfortably until Billy came
out.


A fear began to haunt her. WHEN HE CAME OUT. No; it must not be.
There must not be another baby. It might LIVE. No, no, a thousand
times no. It must not be. She would run away first. She would
never see Billy again. Anything but that. Anything but that.
