Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


"Certainly not," I answered, "or I should have gone without my breakfast.
You have no placards posted to that effect, nor was I so informed when I
entered the place."


He meditated a moment. "You can go," he said.


It was twelve o'clock when I gained the street, and I couldn't quite make
up my mind whether I had been in the army or in prison. The day was half
gone, and it was a far fetch to Stepney. And besides, it was Sunday, and
why should even a starving man look for work on Sunday? Furthermore, it
was my judgment that I had done a hard night's work walking the streets,
and a hard day's work getting my breakfast; so I disconnected myself from
my working hypothesis of a starving young man in search of employment,
hailed a bus, and climbed aboard.
