Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


And Mr. Pike, for practically all of his sixty-nine years, has stood
his watch-and-watch, with many a spill-over of watches into watches.
And yet he is iron. In a struggle with him I am confident that he
would break me like so much straw. He is truly a prodigy of a man,
and, so far as to-day is concerned, an anachronism.


The Faun is not dead, despite my unlucky bullet. Henry insisted that
he caught a glimpse of him yesterday. To-day I saw him myself. He
came to the corner of the 'midship-house and gazed wistfully aft at
the poop, straining and eager to understand. In the same way I have
often seen Possum gaze at me.
