Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


One day, on the Eighth street cars, a young mother sat beside
her, a crowing infant in her arms. And Saxon said to her:


"I had a baby once. It died."


The mother looked at her, startled, half-drew the baby tighter in
her arms, jealously, or as if in fear; then she softened as she
said:


"You poor thing."
