Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London

"Forgive me. It was not so meant. It was out of my own hurt--an effort

"That was loyalty to me, yes, and loyalty to yourself," Dick
explained. "You were mine until I ceased being the greatest man in the
world. He then became the greatest man in the world."
