- "That was as far as Macauley would go. He wanted to set his shoulders and bunch his fists and let the words fly at O' Neill: You can spot the stranger that comes on a visit and mark him down; you can swagger the streets at shearing-time and reap a harvest; but don't lump me in with the weakies and the yellow-bellies busting their cheques over a good time; the curs and the possums who get silly-drunk and fall in fear to your authority."
