Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"For that matter, Saxon, you can just blow yourself. There's lots
of easy money layin' around. I'm in great condition. Billy Murphy
pulled down seventy-five round iron dollars only last week for
puttin' away the Pride of North Beach. That's what ha paid us the
fifty back out of."


But this time it was Saxon who rebelled.


"There's Carl Hansen," Billy argued. "The second Sharkey, the
alfalfa sportin' writers are callin' him. An' he calls himself
Champion of the United States Navy. Well, I got his number. He's
just a big stiff. I've seen 'm fight, an' I can pass him the
sleep medicine just as easy. The Secretary of the Sportin' Life
Club offered to match me. An' a hundred iron dollars in it for
the winner. And it'll all be yours to blow in any way you want.
What d'ye say?"
