Robbery under Arms; a story of life and adventure in the bush and in the Australian goldfields Quotes

“You never saw a man in such a funk. He was a storekeeper, we found afterwards. He nearly dropped on his knees. Then he handed Starlight a bundle of notes, a gold watch, and took a handsome diamond ring from his finger. This Starlight put into his pocket. He handed the notes and watch to Jim, who had a leather bag ready for them. The man sank down on the ground; he had fainted.”
― Rolf Boldrewood, Robbery under Arms; a story of life and adventure in the bush and in the Australian goldfields

“The fishing wasn't bad either. The creeks ran towards the north-west watershed and were full of codfish, bream, and perch. Even the jewfish wasn't bad with their skins off.”
