Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Billy visioned the grassy slopes pastured with his horses and
cattle, and found it hard to turn his back; but he listened with
a willing ear to Saxon's argument in favor of a farm-home like
the one they had seen in the moving pictures in Oakland. Yes, he
agreed, what they wanted was an all-around farm, and an
all-around farm they would have if they hiked forty years to find
it.


"But it must have redwoods on it," Saxon hastened to stipulate.
"I've fallen in love with them. And we can get along without fog.
And there must be good wagon-roads, and a railroad not more than
a thousand miles away."
