| | The Little Lady of the Big House, by Jack London |
 | | Big it was in all seeming, and yet, such was the vagrant nature of it, it was not so big as it seemed. |
| | Spanish in character, the architecture of the Big House was not of the California-Spanish type which had been introduced by way of Mexico a hundred years before, and which had been modified by modern architects to the California-Spanish architecture of the day. |
| | The houses were bungalows, substantial, pleasing to the eye, each set in the midst of gardens where stouter blooms, including roses, were out and smiling at the threat of late frost. |
