Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Little Leo--the boy poet you remember last night," she rattled on in
a patent attempt to escape from her confusion. "He's madly in love
with Paula, too. I've heard Aaron Hancock chaffing him about some
sonnet cycle, and it isn't difficult to guess the inspiration. And
Terrence--the Irishman, you know--he's mildly in love with her. They
can't help it, you see; and can you blame them?"


"She surely deserves it all," Graham murmured, although vaguely hurt
in that the addle-pated, alphabet-obsessed, epicurean anarchist of an
Irishman who gloried in being a loafer and a pensioner should even
mildly be in love with the Little Lady. "She is most deserving of all
men's admiration," he continued smoothly. "From the little I've seen
of her she's quite remarkable and most charming."
