Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


"I come through Kent," went on the first voice, still more angrily, "an'
Gawd blimey if I see any tommy. An' I always notices as the blokes as
talks about 'ow much they can get, w'en they're in the spike can eat my
share o' skilly as well as their bleedin' own."


"There's chaps in London," said a man across the table from me, "that get
all the tommy they want, an' they never think o' goin' to the country.
Stay in London the year 'round. Nor do they think of lookin' for a kip
[place to sleep], till nine or ten o'clock at night."
