Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Huh, I want to say you was goin' some yourself. They just took
to you. Why, honest to God, Saxon, in the singin' you was the
whole show, along with the ukulele. All the women liked you, too,
an' that's what counts."


It was their first social triumph, and the taste of it was sweet:


"Mr. Hall said he'd looked up the 'Story of the Files,'" Saxon
recounted. "And he said mother was a true poet. He said it was
astonishing the fine stock that had crossed the Plains. He told
me a lot about those times and the people I didn't know. And he's
read all about the fight at Little Meadow. He says he's got it in
a book at home, and if we come back to Carmel he'll show it to
me."
