Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


It was her last day at the laundry. She was to quit work that
evening for good. And the next afternoon, at five, she and Billy
were to go before a justice of the peace and be married. Bert and
Mary were to be the witnesses, and after that the four were to go
to a private room in Barnum's Restaurant for the wedding supper.
That over, Bert and Mary would proceed to a dance at Myrtle Hall,
while Billy and Saxon would take the Eighth Street car to Seventh
and Pine. Honeymoons are infrequent in the working class. The
next morning Billy must be at the stable at his regular hour to
drive his team out.
