I will make it over to my sister, and her heirs for ever. Will this not be accepted? Surely it must surely it will! I beg of you, dearest Sir, to propose it; and second it with your interest.

"All is lost!" exclaimed Coronado. "The presence of us two both possible heirs will rouse suspicion. Nothing can be done."

A goodly sum came to us from our parents' estate, and my brother and sister and Cousin Maud were fain to entrust me with theirs; but how much I had to do in return!
