Her Weight in Gold

Collected here are a number of short stories by the popular American writer George Barr McCutcheon. The included stories are: "Her Weight in Gold", "The Maid and the Blade", "Mr. Hamshaw's Love Affair", "The Green Ruby", "The Gloaming Ghosts", "When Girl meets Girl", "Quiddlers Three", "The Late Mr. Taylor" and "The Ten Dollar Bill" "Well the question is: how much does she weigh?" asked Eddie Ten Eyck with satirical good humour. His somewhat flippant inquiry followed the heated remark of General Horatio Gamble, who, in desperation, had declared that his step- daughter, Martha, was worth her weight in gold.
