Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"What more d'ye want than this?" Billy challenged with deep-toned
satisfaction, in the pause after his final cup of coffee, while
he rolled a cigarette. He lay on his side, full length, resting
on his elbow. The fire was burning brightly, and Saxon's color
was heightened by the flickering flames. "Now our folks, when
they was on the move, had to be afraid for Indians, and wild
animals and all sorts of things; an' here we are, as safe as bugs
in a rug. Take this sand. What better bed could you ask? Soft as
feathers. Say--you look good to me, heap little squaw. I bet you
don't look an inch over sixteen right now, Mrs.
Babe-in-the-Woods."
