Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Mary Donahue, who had taken three pints from the milkman, now
took one pint. There were no more family trips to the moving
picture shows. Scrap-meat was harder to get from the butcher.
Nora Delaney, in the third house, no longer bought fresh fish for
Friday. Salted codfish, not of the best quality, was now on her
table. The sturdy children that ran out upon the street between
meals with huge slices of bread and butter and sugar now came out
with no sugar and with thinner slices spread more thinly with
butter. The very custom was dying out, and some children already
had desisted from piecing between meals.
