Ah, OK. I believe that's from "Way Station" by Clifford D. Simak?

I just thought of that book the other day for some reason. I'll come up
with a quote soon.

Sorry - I have been tied up. Here's a quote:
She led the way across the street to a big white frame house which sat well
back from the road. We went around the house to the back, past a little
sunken stone-walled garden, and through a hedge to a small barn that was
used for a garage. Beside this sat a little portable wire pen. Attached to
one end of the pen was a tiny wooden house with a tarpaper roof. Only one
rabbit was in sight. It was out in the pen, nibbling away at part of a
carrot.

Dick Francis? (... remembering one book in which rabbits being raised were
significant)

Not Dick Francis. The author is American. I'll enter another quote soon.

Sorry to be so slow. Here's another quote:
"Does it work?" I asked Mr. Marble.
He nodded. "I've drilled a lot of wells where people have called dousers to
pick the spot and I've got some very good wells. On the other hand, I've
got some good wells where I've picked the spot by spitting."
"How do you pick the spot by spitting?"
"Well, you just spit someplace and then drill where you spit. However I
don't claim as much for that method as the dousers do for theirs."

Wait, wait! Aren't you going to tell us who it is? Must we remain in
suspense forever?
