I was hungry--very hungry. The ten shillings had, worse luck, lasted all too short. It was now two, ay, nearly three days since I had eaten anything, and I felt somewhat faint; holding the pencil even had taxed me a little. I had half a penknife and a bunch of keys in my pocket, but not a farthing.

A very strange little book. Sometimes it dragged on a bit, sometimes I realy disliked the main character and other times I felt so sorry for him... I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. Very strange!
