L'Assommoir (The Dram Shop) by Émile Zola

‘Virginie talked of the country. She would like to be buried at the corner of a wood with wildflowers on her grave. Mme Laret has already put in her wardrobe a sheet for her shroud, and she kept it perfumed with a bunch of lavender; she wished always to have a nice smell under her nose when she would be eating the dandelions by the roots.’
