Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


So intensely dark was the night, that the moment Billy crawled
beyond the reach of her hand he was lost to sight. She sat and
waited. The sound had ceased, though she could follow Billy's
progress by the cracking of dry twigs and limbs. After a few
moments he returned and crawled under the blankets.


"I scared it away, I guess. It's got better ears, an' when it
heard me comin' it skinned out most likely. I did my dangdest,
too, not to make a sound.--O Lord, there it goes again."
