His somewhat flippant inquiry followed the heated remark of General Horatio Gamble, who, in desperation, had declared that his step- daughter, Martha, was worth her weight in gold.

(It was the first time that Eddie had heard of trotting butterflies.) "Shes a fine girl," was his conciliatory remark. "She is pure gold," said the General with conviction. "Pure gold, sir."
