:10:00
That dray under the very window.
:10:09
This calls for a certain amount of
ingenuity. We have to get up there.
:10:13
What if anyone sees us?
:10:15
We're screened from
the high street by the archway.
:10:33
We're taking a grave risk
of seeming inquisitive.
:10:36
A calculated one, Mr Stringer.
On we go.
:10:40
I trust something pithy
will be said after all this.
:10:45
Oh dear... Here we are...
:10:48
"...and though it is with some regret
:10:50
that I finally satisfy
the greed of my relatives,
:10:54
I nevertheless do devise and bequeath
that my entire estate
:10:59
be divided equally between:
My fourth cousin, George Crossfield,
:11:04
in order that he no longer need
borrow from his clients' funds.
:11:08
My niece, Rosamund Shane, in order
that she may support her husband
:11:13
in the style to which
he would like to be accustomed.
:11:19
To my nephew, Hector Enderby,
in order that he may be able
:11:23
to afford to hunt every day
rather than once a week -
:11:27
thereby providing more opportunity
for breaking his neck.
:11:33
Finally, my sister,
Cora Lansquenet, out of gratitude
:11:38
that she stayed out of the country
for 30 years and didn't bother me.
:11:44
The money is to be given outright
to all parties concerned
:11:48
with the hope that it will make them
all as miserable as possible."
:11:53
That is the important part
as far as you're concerned, I'm sure.
:11:56
No, the important part is how much
money am I going to get?
