Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


In the course of treating it, she cried out as in pain. Billy was
all alarm.


"What is it? What hurt you?"


"My eyes. They're hurting like sixty."


And Billy became physician for a while and she the patient. When
the cure was accomplished, she led him into the parlor, where, by
the open window, they succeeded in occupying the same Morris
chair. It was the most expensive comfort in the house. It had
cost seven dollars and a half, and, though it was grander than
anything she had dreamed of possessing, the extravagance of it
had worried her in a half-guilty way all day.
