Charlotte Perkins Gilman Quote
John dear! said I in the gentlest voice, the key is down by the front steps, under a plantain leaf!That silenced him for a few moments.Then he said—very quietly indeed, Open the door, my darling!I can't, said I. The key is down by the front door under a plantain leaf!And then I said it again, several times, very gently and slowly, and said it so often that he had to go and see, and he got it of course, and came in.
