Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Sometimes, on the wider stretches of road, Saxon drove and Billy
walked to lighten the load. She insisted on taking her turns at
walking, and when he breathed the panting mares on the steep, and
Saxon stood by their heads caressing them and cheering them,
Billy's joy was too deep for any turn of speech as he gazed at
his beautiful horses and his glowing girl, trim and colorful in
her golden brown corduroy, the brown corduroy calves swelling
sweetly under the abbreviated slim skirt. And when her answering
look of happiness came to him--a sudden dimness in her straight
gray eyes--he was overmastered by the knowledge that he must say
something or burst.
