Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"Huh, thinks I, here's where I'm a real carman. Back platform for
me, where I can pick up the fancy skirts. Nitsky. Two dollars,
please. Me--my two dollars. All for a pewter badge. Then there
was the uniform--nineteen fifty, and get it anywhere else for
fifteen. Only that was to be paid out of my first month. And then
five dollars in change in my pocket, my own money. That was the
rule.--I borrowed that five from Tom Donovan, the policeman. Then
what? They worked me for two weeks without pay, breakin' me in."
