Because Worth sprained his ankle on the voyage from Australia, he could not mount the ship's gangway at Boulogne, had to be hoisted aboard by derrick, unloaded the same way. Asked how he met his wife, Barney Worth replied: "She came into my butcher's shop for some meat. She bought a lot, and I liked her idea of an appetite. ... It was love at first sight." An average Worth daily diet: 12 Ibs. of meat, five loaves of bread, three cabbages, many a goody.
