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.

This book will strongly appeal to fans of early 20th century literature and those who appreciate a sardonic look at the human condition.
