Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


Well, he looked at us in just that way, and those nearest to him quailed.
Then he lifted his voice.


"Stop this 'ere, now, or I'll turn you the other wy an' march you out,
an' you'll get no breakfast."


I cannot convey by printed speech the insufferable way in which he said
this. He seemed to me to revel in that he was a man in authority, able
to say to half a thousand ragged wretches, "you may eat or go hungry, as
I elect."
