Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


I gazed at this varied trove brought home by sailor sons, and
pondered the mystery of Margaret Henan, who had driven her husband
to his death and been forsaken by all her kin. It was not the
drink. Then what was it?--some shocking cruelty? some amazing
infidelity? or some fearful, old-world peasant-crime?


I broached my theories, but to all Mrs. Ross shook her head.


"Ut was no thot," she said. "Margaret was a guid wife an' a guid
mother, an' I doubt she would harm a fly. She brought up her
fomuly God-fearin' an' decent-minded. Her trouble was thot she
took lunatic--turned eediot."
