Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Everything was clear as print. Her and Billy's problem was as
simple as an arithmetic problem at school: to carpet a room so
many feet long, so many feet wide, to paper a room so many feet
high, so many feet around. She had been sick in her head, she
had had strange lapses, she had been irresponsible. Very well.
All this had been because of her troubles--troubles in which she
had had no hand in the making. Billy's case was hers precisely.
He had behaved strangely because he had been irresponsible. And
all their troubles were the troubles of the trap. Oakland was the
trap. Oakland was a good place to start from.
