Book Description

Excerpt from More Adventures of Captain Kettle, Captain Kettle K. C. B Kettle shook his head gloomily. It's very vague, sir, that. I'm sorry to be so pressing, but the fact is I've a wife and daughters to think about. They're on a little farm at home, and you know what farming is. We've a mortgage on the stock, and I did look to that guano spec. To pay it off. Guano seems so poetically appropriate to 'assist farm ing. But now that's failed, I've got to provide the interest on that mortgage somehow, and the rent, or there's my family turned adrift.
