Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

CHAPTER IX--THE SPIKE



First of all, I must beg forgiveness of my body for the vileness through
which I have dragged it, and forgiveness of my stomach for the vileness
which I have thrust into it. I have been to the spike, and slept in the
spike, and eaten in the spike; also, I have run away from the spike.
