Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


Again she was vexed by the tickling cough that threatened to grow more
pronounced.


"I am ready, Dick," she said faintly, still with closed eyes. "I want
to make my sleepy, sleepy noise. Is the doctor ready? Come closer.
Hold my hand like you did before in the little death."


She turned her eyes to Graham, and Dick did not look, for he knew love
was in that last look of hers, as he knew it would be when she looked
into his eyes at the last.
