Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London

"If you ain't got tins an' cookin' things, all as you can get'll be bread
and cheese. No bloomin' good that! You must 'ave 'ot tea, an'
wegetables, an' a bit o' meat, now an' again, if you're goin' to do work
as is work. Cawn't do it on cold wittles. Tell you wot you do, lad. Run
around in the mornin' an' look in the dust pans. You'll find plenty o'
tins to cook in. Fine tins, wonderful good some o' them. Me an' the ole
woman got ours that way." (He pointed at the bundle she held, while she
nodded proudly, beaming on me with good-nature and consciousness of
success and prosperity.) "This overcoat is as good as a blanket," he
went on, advancing the skirt of it that I might feel its thickness. "An'
'oo knows, I may find a blanket before long."
