야성의 절규(The Call of the Wild) - 14

  "Shall we make it two thousand dollars?" he asked.

  Thornton, Hans and Pete talked for a minute. They had only four hundred dollars, but added this to O'Brien's thousand. Matthewson, very sure of winning, also put down another four hundred dollars.

  Matthewson's ten dogs were taked away, and Buck, who could feel the excitement in the air, was harnessed to the sledge. Buck was, without question, a very fine animal - bright-eyed, intelligent, his thick coat shinning with health. And he looked as strong as a horse.

  one man went up to Thornton. "I'll buy him now," he said. "I'll give you eight hundred dollars for him."

  Thornton shook his head and sat down on the snow next to Buck. He held Buck's head in his hands and spoke softly into his ear. "If you love me, Buck. If you love me."
