Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


The roar came closer, and Saxon, leaning out, saw a dozen scabs,
conveyed by as many special police and Pinkertons, coming down
the sidewalk on her side of the street. They came compactly, as
if with discipline, while behind, disorderly, yelling confusedly,
stooping to pick up rocks, were seventy-five or a hundred of the
striking shopmen. Saxon discovered herself trembling with
apprehension, knew that she must not, and controlled herself. She
was helped in this by the conduct of Mercedes Higgins. The old
woman came out of her front door, dragging a chair, on which she
coolly seated herself on the tiny stoop at the top of the steps.
