...materials of In the Money are so simple that, judged even by the flattest traditions of Naturalism, they scarcely exist. Joe Stecher is a German-American, his wife Gurlie is Norwegian, his daughters are Lottie, 5, and Flossie, 2. They live in Manhattan, on 104th Street, and the year is 1901.

S. was a rich plutocrat trying to jump Norway's claim...
Only 2.5% of Norway's 125,000 square miles are cultivated for food crops. Before the war the thrifty Norwegian Government laid in food reserves sufficient for a year's consumption. But damage from bombings and requisitioning by the Germans have already nearly exhausted the reserves. It looked last week as if Norwegians might go hungry this winter. But it was certain that no real Norwegian, no matter how hungry, would ever stoop to eat a Quisling brisling...
