Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


The policeman passed on, and back we clustered, like flies around a honey
jar. For was there not that wonderful thing, a breakfast, awaiting us?
We could not have clustered more persistently and desperately had they
been giving away million-dollar bank-notes. Some were already off to
sleep, when back came the policeman and away we scattered only to return
again as soon as the coast was clear.


At half-past seven a little door opened, and a Salvation Army soldier
stuck out his head. "Ayn't no sense blockin' the wy up that wy," he
said. "Those as 'as tickets cawn come hin now, an' those as 'asn't
cawn't come hin till nine."
