Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


In the pause, they waited, while the doctor bared her arm for the
needle.


"Sleepy, sleepy," she twittered in mimicry of drowsy birds. "I am
ready, doctor. Stretch the skin tight, first. You know I don't like to
be hurt.--Hold me tight, Dick."


Robinson, receiving the eye permission from Dick, easily and quickly
thrust the needle through the stretched skin, with steady hand sank
the piston home, and with the ball of the finger soothingly rubbed the
morphine into circulation.
