Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Or it will be: 'Mr. Parkman, Simpkins has the best long-time record
of any of our milkers. Now he's slumped. What's up?' Mr. Parkman
doesn't know. 'Investigate,' says Dick. 'There's something on his
chest. Talk to him like an uncle and find out. We've got to get it off
his chest.' And Mr. Parkman finds out. Simpkins' boy; working his way
through Stanford University, has elected the joy-ride path and is in
jail waiting trial for forgery. Dick put his own lawyers on the case,
smoothed it over, got the boy out on probation, and Simpkins' milk
reports came back to par. And the best of it is, the boy made good,
Dick kept an eye on him, saw him through the college of engineering,
and he's now working for Dick on the dredging end, earning a hundred
and fifty a month, married, with a future before him, and his father
still milks."
