Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London

Graham appreciated and enjoyed the ride, although more than once he
found himself glancing at his wrist-watch to ascertain how far away
five o'clock might yet be. Lambing time was at hand, and through home
field after home field he rode with his host, now one and now the
other dismounting to turn over onto its feet rotund and glorious
Shropshire and Ramboullet-Merino ewes so hopelessly the product of
man's selection as to be unable to get off, of themselves, from their
own broad backs, once they were down with their four legs helplessly
sky-aspiring.
