Summary "The Little Lady of the Big House" by Jack London is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dick Forrest, a successful rancher managing a vast estate in California, where he juggles personal aspirations, professional responsibilities, and his relationship with the people around him, including his family and workers. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dick Forrest as he awakens in his comfortable sleeping quarters, setting the tone of his efficient and orderly life. As the morning unfolds, we learn about his work routines, interactions with his Chinese servant, Oh My, and his deep affection for his ranch. Dick engages in various business conversations that reflect his expertise in ranch management, and he exhibits a blend of authority and warmth in his interactions. Amidst his professional life, hints of his romantic interests and familial responsibilities begin to surface, creating an intriguing backdrop as the narrative sets in motion the complex dynamics of his life in the "Big House."
