Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Ain't it a peach?" he exulted, as he dropped beside her. "Just
look at it--hidden away under four feet of soil where nobody
could see it, an' just waitin' for us to hit the Valley of the
Moon. Then it up an' slides a piece of the skin off so as we can
see it."


"Is it the real clay?" Saxon asked anxiously.


"You bet your sweet life. I've handled too much of it not to know
it in the dark. Just rub a piece between your fingers.--Like
that. Why, I could tell by the taste of it. I've eaten enough of
the dust of the teams. Here's where our fun begins. Why, you know
we've been workin' our heads off since we hit this valley. Now
we're on Easy street."
