CINCO VECES Millionaire. 3.
Y DOMESTICO

FL lector Sc preguntara como es
possible que, con las relaciones de mi
familia, haya podido colocarme como
domestico. La explicacion es senci-
llisima:
Los cinco millones de frances que
mi abuela Consuelo nos habia lega-
do a mis- dos hermanas y a mi, estu-
vieron protegidos y ~amparados con
tantas formalidades legales y tesla
mentarias que no recibimos nunca
mas de Glen mil frances cada uno y
por ano, v este despues de immune
rabies retardos ~ocasionados o los

Debo confesar igualmente que una
parte de mi h%erencia estaba n me-
nude hipotecada antes de haberla o
brado, de suerte que, mas de una
vez, me encontre en- algun lugar del

mis- dos brazos para ganarme la vida.
