Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London

"I'll be on my way just the same." Young Dick turned as if to depart,
paused casually, and said over his shoulder, "Better come along."

Tim shook up the beer as he answered with equal casualness, "Aw right.
I'll be there."

After parting from Tim Hagan Young Dick spent a busy hour or so
looking up one, Marcovich, a Slavonian schoolmate whose father ran a
chop-house in which was reputed to be served the finest twenty-cent
meal in the city. Young Marcovich owed Young Dick two dollars, and
Young Dick accepted the payment of a dollar and forty cents as full
quittance of the debt.
