Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Paula took me there once. Oh, they were engaged--the day before, and
he had called on me and all that. I had known 'Lucky' Richard Forrest,
and I knew all about his son. From a worldly standpoint, Paula
couldn't have made a finer marriage. It was quite a romance. Paula had
seen him captain the University of California eleven to victory over
Stanford. And the next time she saw him was in the studio she shared
with the two girls. She didn't know whether Dick was worth millions or
whether he was running a cabaret because he was hard up, and she cared
less. She always followed her heart. Fancy the situation: Dick the
uncatchable, and Paula who never flirted. They must have sprung
forthright into each other's arms, for inside the week it was all
arranged, and Dick made his call on me, as if my decision meant
anything one way or the other.
