Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"But suppose the silk goes out of your body till you creak like a
rusty wheelbarrow?" Hall pursued. "Suppose, just suppose, Saxon
went away with another man. What then?"


Billy considered a space.


"Then it'd be me for the dishwater an' the jellyfish, I guess."
He straightened up in his chair and threw back his shoulders
unconsciously as he ran a hand over his biceps and swelled it.
Then he took another look at Saxon. "But thank the Lord I still
got a wallop in both my arms an' a wife to fill 'em with love."
