Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Once," she explained to Graham, "I had to go on the table, and I made
Dick go with me into the anaesthetic chamber and hold my hand until I
went under. You remember, Henley called it the drunken dark, the
little death in life. It was very easy."


In the silence she continued her look, then turned her face and eyes
back to Dick, who knelt close to her, holding her hand.


With a pressure of her fingers on his and a beckoning of her eyes, she
drew his ear down to her lips.
