Excerpt from The Quest of the Golden Pearl
"Jack! I say, Jack! there's a row among the boatmen."
A sturdy, thick-set young fellow of seventeen was Jack, with low-hung fists of formidable size, and a love for anything in the shape of a row that constantly led him into scrapes. Hot-headed though he was, he was one of the most good-humoured, well-meaning young fellows in the world, who, while he would not hurt a fly if he could help it, was always ready to fight in defence of his own or another's rights.
His chum, Roydon Leigh - "Don" for short - was of an altogether different type of young manhood. Jack's senior by a year, he was tall for his age, standing five feet ten in his stockings.
