Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


I was interested. Here was a man, a live man. I was in no hurry to
go into the cabin, where I knew Wada was unpacking my things, so I
paced up and down the deck with the huge Mr. Pike. Huge he was in
all conscience, broad-shouldered, heavy-boned, and, despite the
profound stoop of his shoulders, fully six feet in height.


"You are a splendid figure of a man," I complimented.


"I was, I was," he muttered sadly, and I caught the whiff of whiskey
strong on the air.
