Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"They do it, the people who have too much," the old woman
explained, straightening her labor-stiffened back with such an
effort that almost Saxon could hear it creak. The old woman's
black eyes flashed angrily, and her wrinkled lips, drawn tightly
across toothless gums, wry with bitterness. "The people that have
too much. It is to keep up the price. They throw them overboard
in San Francisco."


"But why don't they give them away to the poor people?" Saxon
asked.
