MARGE ASKINFORIT
First Extract
THE CATASTROPHIC FAMILY
I was christened Margarine, of course, but in my own circle I have always been known as Marge. The name is, I am informed, derived from the Latin word margo, meaning the limit. I have always tried to live right up to it.
We were a very numerous family, and I can find space for biographical details of only a few of the more important. I must keep room for myself.
