Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"I didn't have horses when I was a young girl," Paula said to Graham;
"and the fact that I can now not only have them but breed them and
mold them to my heart's desire is always too good to be true.
Sometimes I can't believe it myself, and have to ride out and look
them over to make sure."


She turned her head and raised her eyes gratefully to Forrest; and
Graham watched them look into each other's eyes for a long half-
minute. Forrest's pleasure in his wife's pleasure, in her young
enthusiasm and joy of life, was clear to Graham's observation. "Lucky
devil," was Graham's thought, not because of his host's vast ranch and
the success and achievement of it, but because of the possession of a
wonder-woman who could look unabashed and appreciative into his eyes
as the Little Lady had looked.
