Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


Contrary to custom, Dick did not wait for the second lunch-gong. At
the sound of the first he started, for he felt the desire for one of
Oh Joy's cocktails--the need of a prod of courage, after the lilacs,
to meet Paula. But she was ahead of him. He found her--who rarely
drank, and never alone--just placing an empty cocktail glass back on
the tray.


So she, too, had needed courage for the meal, was his deduction, as he
nodded to Oh Joy and held up one finger.
