Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Four into fifteen, three times and three to carry," Saxon
recited glibly. "Four into thirty is seven, twenty-eight, two to
carry; and two-fourths is one-half. There you are."


"Gee! You're the real bear at figures." He hesitated. "I didn't
follow you. How much did you say it was?"


"Thirty-seven and a half cents."


"Ah, ha! Now we'll see how much I've ben gouged for my one room.
Ten dollars a month for four rooms is two an' a half for one. Add
thirty-seven an' a half cents interest on furniture, an' that
makes two dollars an' eighty-seven an' a half cents. Subtract
from six dollars. . . ."
