Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


This was the same degraded humility that had characterised their attitude
toward the poorhouse porter. But I wouldn't have it. Step by step I
increased their order--eggs, rashers of bacon, more eggs, more bacon,
more tea, more slices and so forth--they denying wistfully all the while
that they cared for anything more, and devouring it ravenously as fast as
it arrived.


"First cup o' tea I've 'ad in a fortnight," said the Carter.
