Mrs. Jessie Stevens He never realized how valuable the ground was he had his feet on...We had a ranch. It wasn't a very big one. No plumbing. A little thing out back. Poor Jeremiah, he'll never know how close he came to twenty million barrels of oil. Mrs. Jessie Stevens And so to bed where I can cuddle up to my jewelry...as rare and wonderful as they are, I think I'd rather have a hundred thousand Jeremiahs. Mrs. Jessie Stevens I have no more affection for that jewelry than I have for a train ticket that gets me somewhere.
