Сидни Шелдон – The Stars Shine Down (страница 8)

‘The auld bastard tried to keep me frae marryin’ his precious daughter,’ James Cameron would complain to any of the boarders who would listen. ‘He was filthy rich, but do ye think he wad gie me aught? Nae. But I took guid care of his Peggy, anyway …’
