L'albero genealogico dei Paperi: Patrizio de' Paperoni trova l'amore

Scrooge shares the story of how his ancestor Quagmire McDuck once wrote one of the rarest published books in the world, "How to Stretch a Penny". It happened after Quagmire had met the love of his life, the equally stingy woman Lizzie Laplaigne, as an effort to raise funds to create a family with her. Quagmire encounters Charles Dickens at the publishing house Bradbury & Evans in London, manages to get his book idea to print but the book's nature itself causes it to flop in terms of sales, but yet it becomes a big success at the libraries.
