Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London

"And still I do not, cannot, make up my mind," she persisted.

"But you must. The present situation is intolerable. You must decide
quickly, for Evan must go. You realize that. Or you must go. You both
cannot continue on here. Take all the time in the world. Send Evan
away. Or, suppose you go and visit Aunt Martha for a while. Being away
from both of us might aid you to get somewhere. Perhaps it will be
better to call off the hunting. I'll go alone, and you stay and talk
it over with Evan. Or come on along and talk it over with him as you
ride. Whichever way, I won't be in till late. I may sleep out all
night in one of the herder's cabins. When I come back, Evan must be
gone. Whether or not you are gone with him will also have been
decided."
