Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


I breathed a sigh of relief. Having burnt my ships behind me, I was now
free to plunge into that human wilderness of which nobody seemed to know
anything. But at once I encountered a new difficulty in the shape of my
cabby, a grey-whiskered and eminently decorous personage who had
imperturbably driven me for several hours about the "City."


"Drive me down to the East End," I ordered, taking my seat.


"Where, sir?" he demanded with frank surprise.
