Jules Verne Quote

These suckling-pigs were really delicious, and Pencroft was devouring his share with great gusto, when all at once a cry and an oath escaped him. What's the matter? asked Cyrus Harding. The matter? the matter is that I have just broken a tooth! replied the sailor. What, are there pebbles in your peccaries? said Gideon Spilett. I suppose so, replied Pencroft, drawing from his lips the object which had cost him a grinder!-- It was not a pebble--it was a leaden bullet.
