Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fight With Fortune, Vol. 1 of 3 Wrangel, plumber and glazier, whose an cestors had been plumbers and glaziers at Englehurst since the Conquest, according to village tradition. Wrangel was a plaus ible fellow, with three daughters, the young est of them about five years older than young Cotton, and all three ready for what, in village life, reflects the flirtation of the higher classes. Poor Charles Cotton was at a great disadvantage. He liked a bit of fun; he was not stupidly shy; but what is a boy to do against three young women older than himself? Old Wrangel taught him his trade well enough, swearing at him fiercely during the process; for this young Cotton cared not. He even preferred Wrangel's strong language to the cynical scoldings of his pious uncle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
