Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"But just the same it's the Portuguese that gave it its price,
and they make things go on it--send their children to school . . .
and have them; and, as you said yourself, they're as fat as
butterballs."


"An' I take my hat off to them," Billy responded.


"But all the same, I'd sooner have forty acres at a hundred an
acre than four at a thousan' an acre. Somehow, you know, I'd be
scared stiff on four acres--scared of fallin' off, you know."
