Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Saxon sat back in the Morris chair, resting and thinking. The
problem was growing more complicated than ever. This elderly,
round-bellied, and bald-headed gunfighter, too, had a wife and
family. And there was Frank Davis, married barely a year and with
a baby boy. Perhaps the scab he shot in the stomach had a wife
and children. All seemed to be acquainted, members of a very
large family, and yet, because of their particular families, they
battered and killed each other. She had seen Chester Johnson kill
a scab, and now they were going to hang Chester Johnson, who had
married Kittie Brady out of the cannery, and she and Kittie Brady
had worked together years before in the paper box factory.
