"I will go back and make up a composing draught; and while I am away you must get her to bed."Susan took out some of her own clothes, and softly undressed the stiff, powerless form. There was no other bed in the house but the one in which her father slept. So she tenderly lifted the body of her darling; and was going to take it downstairs, but the mother opened her eyes, and seeing what she was about, she said--"I am not worthy to touch her, I am so wicked. I have spoken to you as I never should have spoken; but I think you are very good. May I have my own child to lie in my arms for a little while?"Her voice was so strange a contrast to what it had been before she had gone into the fit, that Susan hardly recognised it: it was now so unspeakably soft, so irresistibly pleading; the features too had lost their fierce expression, and were almost as placid as death.

老舍小全集：茶馆（精装）
世纪的时间跨度，五十七个主、次人物形象高度浓缩在茶馆之中，展现了清末戊戌变法失败后、民国初年北洋军阀割据时期、国民党政权覆灭前夕三个时代的生活场景，概括了中国社会各阶层、数个势力的尖锐对立和冲突，揭示了半封建、半殖民地中国的历史命运。《龙须沟》是老舍先生的重要作品，是他解放初期回国后创作的第二个话剧剧本，也是早期主旋律作品中难得的传世之作。此剧描写的是居住在北京天桥附近的一条臭水沟（龙须沟）旁小杂院的4户人家的不同遭遇，塑造了程疯子、程娘子、丁四嫂、王大妈、二春、小妞子、赵大爷等各具特色的人物形象，由他们的经历和心态来表现新政权、新制度带来的新气象、新变化，堪称是一部下层民众的血泪史、翻身史。
