Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


A mile on from the lineman, they stopped where a small creek,
fringed with brush, crossed the county road. Billy was for the
cold lunch, which was the last meal Saxon had prepared in the
Pine street cottage; but she was determined upon building a fire
and boiling coffee. Not that she desired it for herself, but that
she was impressed with the idea that everything at the starting
of their strange wandering must be as comfortable as possible for
Billy's sake. Bent on inspiring him with enthusiasm equal to her
own, she declined to dampen what sparks he had caught by anything
so uncheerful as a cold meal.
