oh, Lord right there was another
knot In the tangie-LIsctte. We had
agreed to agrec-Llsette and I-som.
six months or SO In advance Of Grand.
both perfectly well assured and had
assured each other dozen times, that
my Income from Dads estate wasn't
more than half big enough to marry
On. You see Il was this way: Lisette
was one of family of four girls In a
mighty expensive household. and there
wasn't anything to lean on on that
-.
we never discussed II brutnlly In so
many words, We were waiting for that
fifty-ffty look-ln at the viii which fam
fly tradition declared had already been
drawn up, signed. sealed. witnessed
and put away in cold storage: other

ther Jnsper'S family lawyer.
All OF which may serve TO bring US
back TO that nightmare effect regis
tered at the start. When the Dudley
will was taken out OF the icebox and
read to the assembled members Of the
family. there were at least two shock
ing surprises. Jasper hadn't been my
where near as rich as we had all been
thinking he Was. that his modest
manner OF living hud been, perhaps. as
much a matter OF necessity as Of
choice. Bad investments-of which
the family had never heard so much
as whIsper-had cut his fortune
down TO something less than half
million, all told. That was shock
Number One; and shock Number Two
was strictly personal TO me: Grand
father Jasper had left me his love and
best wishes. and had wtlled the money
nnd property-all OF II. mind you-to
Cousin Percy. giving as his reason
that he thought Percy would make
better use OF it
OF course. had everybody's sympa-
thy and condolence-even Percy's. for
that matter. My mother wept: and.
as I recaliit. Lsette managed to COM
pass a tear or SO when told her what
had happened: or rather what had %
ignomin!ously failed to happen.
