Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Her Weight in Gold: Illus, by H. Devitt Welsh "Well, the question is: How much does she weigh?" asked Eddie Ten Eyck, with satirical good humor. His rather flippant inquiry followed the heated remark of General Gamble, who, in desperation, had been led to announce that his stepdaughter was worth her weight in gold. Young Mr. Ten Eyck´s sarcasm was inspired by a mind´s-eye picture of Martha Gamble, the girl involved. She was, bar none, the homeliest young woman in Essex. To quote Joe Grigsby, she was "so plain that all comparisons began with her." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
