"'Pinchem Shortface, the millionaire who made a fortune by inventing a way to open clams by steam, has determined that no foreign Count will marry his daughter, Sudsetta. She will inherit about $193,000,000, about $18 of which is loose enough to spend.
"Thank Heaven!" cried Anna, "our troubles are at an end. This money will help clear the mortgage and the greed of Pinchem & Co. cannot harm us now." "The farm was mortgaged!" said William, aghast. "Ay," said the farmer, "mortgaged to men who have no conscience, whose greedy hand has nearly brought us to the grave. See how she has aged, my boy," and he pointed to Anna.
