Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Valuable Life: A Novel
The world generally did stand in awe of Miss Keturah Kettlewell. In her presence, at any rate. Behind her back, the world was apt to laugh at her, but never when she was within hearing. For her sharp tongue and her bright eyes made her formidable; and, besides, she was very, very rich. It is not easy to laugh at a person who has at least fifteen thousand pounds a year.
