Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


By this time it seemed to Saxon that they had known him a long
time. It reminded her of the old times when Bert had been with
them, singing his songs or ranting about the last of the
Mohicans.


"Now, listen; I'm going to teach you something," Hall commanded,
a large round rock poised in his hand above the abalone meat.
"You must never, never pound abalone without singing this song.
Nor must you sing this song at any other time. It would be the
rankest sacrilege. Abalone is the food of the gods. Its
preparation is a religious function. Now listen, and follow, and
remember that it is a very solemn occasion."
