Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


She was immediately herself as he had always seen her--although it was
little enough he had seen of her, he thought, as he talked whatever
came into his head, and rummaged among her songs with her. Now one and
now another song he tried with her, subduing his high baritone to her
light soprano with such success as to win cries of more from the
bridge players.


"Yes, I am positively aching to be out again over the world with
Dick," she told him in a pause. "If we could only start to-morrow! But
Dick can't start yet. He's in too deep with too many experiments and
adventures on the ranch here. Why, what do you think he's up to now?
As if he did not have enough on his hands, he's going to revolutionize
the sales end, or, at least, the California and Pacific Coast portion
of it, by making the buyers come to the ranch."
