Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Do you know, I've just been reading De Vries' eulogy of Luther
Burbank's work, and it seems to me that Dick is to the domestic animal
world what Burbank is to the domestic vegetable world. You are life-
makers here--thumbing the stuff into new forms of utility and beauty."


Paula, by this time herself again, laughed and accepted the
compliment.


"I fear me," Graham continued with easy seriousness, "as I watch your
achievements, that I can only look back on a misspent life. Why didn't
I get in and _make_ things? I'm horribly envious of both of you."
