She dug her teeth in the pillow so that no sound might escape her.
But in the daytime, protected by the curtains of the chair, she allowed herself to give way.
Her pain was so great that she could have screamed at the top of her voice;
she had never known that one could suffer so much;
and she asked herself desparately what she had done to deserve it.

W. Somerset Maugham
