Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


She put him down, but he hesitated between her and the bone,
patently looking to her for surety of permission, yet continuing
to tremble in the terrible struggle between duty and desire that
seemed tearing him asunder. Not until she repeated that it was
all right and nodded her head consentingly did he go to the bone.
And once, a minute later, he raised his head with a sudden
startle and gazed inquiringly at her. She nodded and smiled, and
Possum, with a happy sigh of satisfaction, dropped his head down
to the precious deer-rib.
