Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Billy and Hall had disappeared and were making the circle around

admitted it.


"What price for my money now?" he cried excitedly, dancing up and
down.


Hall had reappeared, the great jump accomplished, and was running
shoreward. But there was no gap. Billy was on his heels, and on
his heels he stayed, in to shore, down the wall, and to the mark
on the beach. Billy had won by half a minute.
