Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


And he knew, now, ever since the brief words at the hitching rails and
the singing of the "Gypsy Trail," that whenever their eyes looked into
each other's it was with a mutual knowledge of unsaid things.


In vain he turned the pages of the books for the information he
sought. He tried to continue his chapter without the information, but
no words flowed from his pen. A maddening restlessness was upon him.
He seized a time table and pondered the departure of trains, changed
his mind, switched the room telephone to the house barn, and asked to
have Altadena saddled.
