Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


At eleven o'clock she had a caller. It was Bud Strothers, Billy's
mate on strike duty. Billy, he told her, had refused bail,
refused a lawyer, had asked to be tried by the Court, had pleaded
guilty, and had received a sentence of sixty dollars or thirty
days. Also, he had refused to let the boys pay his fine.


"He's clean looney," Strothers summed up. "Won't listen to
reason. Says he'll serve the time out. He's been tankin' up too
regular, I guess. His wheels are buzzin'. Here, he give me this
note for you. Any time you want anything send for me. The boys'll
all stand by Bill's wife. You belong to us, you know. How are you
off for money?"
