Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


But she drew away from him suddenly, sat down, and buried her flushed
face in her hands.


"You do not understand, Evan. I love Dick. I shall always love him."


"And me?" Graham demanded sharply.


"Oh, without saying," she smiled. "You are the only man, besides Dick,
that has ever kissed me this... way, and that I have kissed this way.
But I can't make up my mind. The triangle, as you call it, must be
solved for me. I can't solve it myself. I compare the two of you,
weigh you, measure you. I remember Dick and all our past years. And I
consult my heart for you. And I don't know. I don't know. You are a
great man, my great lover. But Dick is a greater man than you. You--
you are more clay, more--I grope to describe you--more human, I fancy.
And that is why I love you more... or at least I think perhaps I do.
