Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London

"Oh, 'e sez we're no good, a lot o' blackguards an' scoundrels as won't
work. Tells all the ole tricks I've bin 'earin' for twenty years an'
w'ich I never seen a mug ever do. Las' thing of 'is I see, 'e was
tellin' 'ow a mug gets out o' the spike, wi' a crust in 'is pockit. An'
w'en 'e sees a nice ole gentleman comin' along the street 'e chucks the
crust into the drain, an' borrows the old gent's stick to poke it out.
An' then the ole gent gi'es 'im a tanner."
