[West Wind Drift by George Barr McCutcheon]@TWC D-Link bookWest Wind Drift CHAPTER VII 4/36
It is the courage that depends so much on the courage of others. You think I am brave.
I am brave because I am with trained, efficient men.
But if the Captain were to come to me now as I stand here, and say zat the ship is to sink in ten minutes and that we all must go down with her, would I face it bravely? No! I would throw myself down on the floor and scream and pray and tear my hair.
Why? Because the men had given up. I am kept up by the courage of others.
That is the courage of woman.
