Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


He glared at me in a frightened manner, and tried to draw back. Possibly
he took me for a latter-day Jack-the-Ripper, with a penchant for elderly
male paupers. Or he may have thought I was inveigling him into the
commission of some desperate crime. Anyway, he was frightened.


It will be remembered, at the outset, that I sewed a pound inside my
stoker's singlet under the armpit. This was my emergency fund, and I was
now called upon to use it for the first time.
