Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"But such miles!" Billy enlarged. "Half the time up or down, an'
'most all the time without trails. An' such a pace. He was dead
right about your short legs, Saxon. You wouldn't a-lasted the
first mile. An' such country! We ain't seen anything like it
yet."


Hafler left the next day to catch the train at Monterey. He gave
them the freedom of the Marble House, and told them to stay the
whole winter if they wanted. Billy elected to loaf around and
rest up that day. He was stiff and sore. Moreover, he was stunned
by the exhibition of walking prowess on the part of the poet.
