Author Description

Excerpt from The Strangeness of Noel Carton Advice to those about to marry Money. Find a mill. Take one of the millstones (upper or nether, which you please) and fasten it firmly and closely round your neck. Then carry it to the mill-pond and drop it in at the deep end. Ten years of it, good Lord! And perhaps an other twenty - thirty - perhaps forty more. How do you fancy that, partner? There seems to be nothing the matter with either Josephine or me at present. We may both live to be eighty. I expect we shall. Whom the gods hate, die old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
