Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"There's a thousand more verses like those," he said. "Sorry I
hadn't time to teach you them." He held out his hand, palm
downward. "And now, children, bless you, you are now members of
the clan of Abalone Eaters, and I solemnly enjoin you, never, no
matter what the circumstances, pound abalone meat without
chanting the sacred words I have revealed unto you."


"But we can't remember the words from only one hearing," Saxon
expostulated.
