Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London

"I never told you, Billy--you were so set on a boy; but I
planned, just the same, if it was a girl, to call her Daisy. You
remember, that was my mother's name."

He nodded his approbation.

"Say, Saxon, you know I did want a boy like the very dickens . . .
well, I don't care now. I think I'm set just as hard on a girl,
an', well, here's hopin' the next will be called . . . you wouldn't
mind, would you?"
