Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Then am I thy dragon," Forrest announced with due humility. "Spare
this ancient, honorable, and only neck I have."


"Off with his head!" the young things encouraged.


"Stay thee, maidens, I pray thee," Bert begged. "I am only a Small
Potato. Yet am I unafraid. I shall beard the dragon. I shall beard him
in his gullet, and, while he lingeringly chokes to death over my
unpalatableness and general spinefulness, do you, fair damsels, flee
to the mountains lest the valleys fall upon you. Yolo, Petaluma, and
West Sacramento are about to be overwhelmed by a tidal wave and many
big fishes."
