Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


South of Gold Beach, climbing a narrow road through the virgin
forest, they heard from far above the jingle of bells. A hundred
yards farther on Billy found a place wide enough to turn out.
Here he waited, while the merry bells, descending the mountain,
rapidly came near. They heard the grind of brakes, the soft thud
of horses' hoofs, once a sharp cry of the driver, and once a
woman's laughter.


"Some driver, some driver," Billy muttered. "I take my hat off to
'm whoever he is, hittin' a pace like that on a road like
this.--Listen to that! He's got powerful brakes.--Zocie! That
WAS a chuck-hole! Some springs, Saxon, some springs!"
