After the lapsed hours of sleep he took up, without effort, the interrupted tale of his days. He knew himself to be Dick Forrest, the master of broad acres, who had fallen asleep hours before after drowsily putting a match between the pages of "Road Town" and pressing off the electric reading lamp. Near at hand there was the ripple and gurgle of some sleepy fountain. From far off, so faint and far that only a keen ear could catch, he heard a sound that made him smile with pleasure. He knew it for the distant, throaty bawl of King Polo -- King Polo, his champion Short Horn bull, thrice Grand Champion also of all bulls at Sacramento at the California State Fairs. The smile was slow in easing from Dick Forrest's face, for he dwelt a moment on the new triumphs he had destined that year for King Polo on the Eastern livestock circuits. He would show them that a bull, California born and finished, could compete with the cream of bulls corn-fed in Iowa or imported overseas from the immemorial home of Short Horns.

Horrible binding,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Little Lady of the Big House (Paperback)
When I received this book, the binding was broken and it looked like it was printed from a printer with poor quality paper. I sent it back and asked for a new one. When I received the next one, it also poor quality printing but the binding was not broken. During the first reading of the book, pages fell out and the binding broke. I will never buy from this store again.
