Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What´s the World Coming To? Of the two young and exceedingly 1919 women seated in the Plaza Hotel at luncheon, only one realized that she had too much money. She was suffering from a sudden rush of wealth to the bank-account, and it made her head swim. Later she would declare that she had not half enough. This also happens with drink - or used to. It is the curse of money, as of other intoxicants, that no one ever gets just exactly enough. Both wealth and drink were therefore abolished by law in certain parts of the world in the mirable year that followed the horrible years of the War of Wars. Russia made wealth a crime; and America, liquor. April Summerlin was the too-rich girl´s rather too-pink label. Her mother had named her after the month that brought her to earth. In due time Mrs. Summerlin found occasion to say that "July Fourth" would have been a more prophetic title for her highly inflammable child - especially in view of her precocious engagements to - and with - the lad on the neighboring plantation. Robert Taxter´s name gave no indication of his character except to those peculiar people who believe that the number of letters in one´s name has a vital influence on his character and career. Bob Taxter was a fire-eating Southron, a fire-breather, and a fire-fighter. April had also great talents for spontaneous combustion.
