Description
Excerpt from The Log of the Snark
This was a few months before we were married. Say we start five years from now, figured Jack, who always seems to be making plans for a tangible eternity. We''ll build our house on the ranch and get the place started with orchard and vines and livestock, at the same time going ahead with boat-drawings and building a yacht to suit. Five years will not be too much time.
Then, privily, he asked what I thought of it. Too good to be true, was what I thought; but why wait so long? We''d never be younger than we were, and, besides, what was the good of putting up a home and leaving it for seven years - seven years being the time roughly calculated to carry out our far-reaching plan. I won the day.
