Quotation from: The Call of the Wild

Written by: Jack London


"Pooh! pooh!" said John Thornton; "Buck can start a thousand
pounds."


"And break it out? and walk off with it for a hundred yards?"
demanded Matthewson, a Bonanza King, he of the seven hundred
vaunt.


"And break it out, and walk off with it for a hundred yards," John
Thornton said coolly.


"Well," Matthewson said, slowly and deliberately, so that all
could hear, "I've got a thousand dollars that says he can't. And
there it is." So saying, he slammed a sack of gold dust of the
size of a bologna sausage down upon the bar.
