Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


And then came the policeman. "Get outa that, you bloomin' swine! Eigh!
eigh! Get out now!" And like swine he drove them from the doorways and
scattered them to the four winds of Surrey. But when he encountered the
crowd asleep on the steps he was astounded. "Shocking!" he exclaimed.
"Shocking! And of a Sunday morning! A pretty sight! Eigh! eigh! Get
outa that, you bleeding nuisances!"


Of course it was a shocking sight, I was shocked myself. And I should
not care to have my own daughter pollute her eyes with such a sight, or
come within half a mile of it; but--and there we were, and there you are,
and "but" is all that can be said.
