Excerpt from The Other Sara "But what is it all about?" said Terence Agnew, who had just dropped in to tea. He was a well-set-up, cheerful-looking young man of twenty-one, or thereabouts, and gave the impression of being at peace with all mankind. "My dear boy, I thought you knew, " replied Mrs. Hamersley in a fretful voice. "We are threatened with an absolutely impossible addition to our household. Sallie, explain it to him. I have thought of it and talked of it until I feel physically sick." "It really is rather appalling, " said Sallie, trying not to laugh - "at least, from mothers point of view it is. Of course, in a way, its funny, too." The speaker was a tall, slim girl, whose principal charms were a quantity of dark-red hair and a singularly lovable expression. "You see, it's like this, she went on. "We've got to have an elderly half-cousin or something quartered upon us until she dies or marries, and she's old enough to be unlikely to marry, and not old enough to be likely to die." "You don't mean that your great-uncle Westlake's heiress has turned up at last?" exclaimed Terence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
