Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Hard times were already in the neighborhood, where lived the
families of the shopmen who had gone out on strike. Among the
small storekeepers, Saxon, in the course of the daily marketing,
could sense the air of despondency. Light and geniality seemed to
have vanished. Gloom pervaded everywhere. The mothers of the
children that played in the streets showed the gloom plainly in
their faces. When they gossiped in the evenings, over front gates
and on door stoops, their voices were subdued and less of
laughter rang out.
