Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


He, who had eaten the leavings from firemen's pails in round-houses
and "scoffed" mulligan-stews at water-tanks, had learned thoroughly
the worth of money. He bought the best with the sure knowledge that it
was the cheapest. A year of high school physics and a year of high
school chemistry were necessary to enter the university. When he had
crammed his algebra and geometry, he sought out the heads of the
physics and chemistry departments in the University of California.
Professor Carey laughed at him... at the first.
