Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


And Mrs. Tully went on to sketch the year of travel in Europe, the
resumption of Paula's painting in Paris, and the conviction she
finally reached that success could be achieved only by struggle and
that her aunt's money was a handicap.


"And she had her way," Mrs. Tully sighed. "She--why, she dismissed me,
sent me home. She would accept no more than the meagerest allowance,
and went down into the Latin Quarter on her own, batching with two
other American girls. And she met Dick. Dick was a rare one. You
couldn't guess what he was doing then. Running a cabaret--oh, not
these modern cabarets, but a real students' cabaret of sorts. It was
very select. They were a lot of madmen. You see, he was just back from
some of his wild adventuring at the ends of the earth, and, as he
stated it, he wanted to stop living life for a while and to talk about
life instead.
