Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Lucky for you it was an old mare that had been used to
ridin'--see them saddle marks," he grumbled, when she at last
drew to a halt beside him and allowed him to help her down.


"Oh, Billy," she sparkled, "I was never on a horse before. It was
glorious! I felt so helpless, too, and so brave."


"I'm proud of you, just the same," he said, in more grumbling
tones than before. "'Tain't every married women'd tackle a
strange horse that way, especially if she'd never ben on one.
An' I ain't forgot that you're goin' to have a saddle animal all
to yourself some day--a regular Joe dandy."
