Quoting "Ulrich, Paul" <ulrich at zlb.de>:

> Dear fellow wombats,
>
> In a paperon  morality in the past and in the present Theodor Geiger
> uses a quote from an American crime novel which had to have been
> published before March 1950:
> "There can't be a law for you, and a law for me, except in our minds.
> There has to be one law covering both of us, like a blanket. Maybe our
> feet will stick out, but ..."
>
> Does anyone have an idea where this quotation may have come from? Does
> anyone know of a discussion group or experts on the subject which may be
> able to provide assistance.
>
> Thank you very much,
> Paul
