Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

Saxon's delight was unbounded and almost speechless as they drove
out into the country behind the dappled chestnuts with the
cream-colored tails and manes. The seat was upholstered,
high-backed, and comfortable; and Billy raved about the wonders
of the efficient brake. He trotted the team along the hard county
road to show the standard-going in them, and put them up a steep
earthroad, almost hub-deep with mud, to prove that the light
Belgian sire was not wanting in their make-up.
