"Yes." "And nothing is said of any guardianship on the part of Mrs. Crawford?" "No; I think it would be better, Ashcroft, that you should be Carl's guardian. A man can study his interests and control him better." "I will accept the trust," said Ashcroft, "though I hope it may be many years before the necessity arises."
