Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


It was the thought of Billy, next morning, that led Saxon to go
under the sink, unscrew the cap to the catchtrap, and rescue the
five-dollar piece. Prisoners were not well fed, she had been
told; and the thought of placing clams and dry bread before
Billy, after thirty days of prison fare, was too appalling for
her to contemplate. She knew how he liked to spread his butter on
thick, how he liked thick, rare steak fried on a dry hot pan, and
how he liked coffee that was coffee and plenty of it.
