Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


As he was only a private, he referred me to the adjutant, and to the
adjutant I repeated my reasons for wishing to go, and politely requested
that he let me go.


"But it cawn't be done," he said, waxing virtuously indignant at such
ingratitude. "The idea!" he snorted. "The idea!"


"Do you mean to say that I can't get out of here?" I demanded. "That you
will keep me here against my will?"
