The Little Lady of the Big House is a novel by American essayist Jack London. The story concerns a circle of drama. The hero, Dick Forrest, is a farmer with a graceful streak (his "oak seed tune" reviews London's play, "The Acorn Planters."). His better half, Paula, is a fiery, athletic, and physically mindful lady (in one scene, she rides a steed into a "swimming tank, " arising in "a white smooth slip of a swimsuit that shaped to her structure like a marble-carven veiling of curtain.") Paula, as Charmian, is dependent upon sleep deprivation; and Paula, as Charmian, can't bear youngsters. In light of a perusing of Charmian's journal, Stasz recognizes the third vertex of the triangle, Evan Graham, with two genuine men named Laurie Smith and Allan Dunn. Indeed, even minor characters can be distinguished; Forrest's worker Oh My looks like London's valet Nakata. The long-unshaven vagrant rationalist Aaron Hancock looks like the genuine deep rooted whiskery vagabond logician Frank Strawn-Hamilton, who was a drawn out visitor at the London farm. Artist Haakan Frolich shows up as "the stone carver Froelig" – and painter Xavier Martinez shows up as the person "Xavier Martinez!"
