He will leave the heirship to be finally adjusted by the Court. The Court is under his thumb. His senatorial duties call for this relief. It will take public attention from the unpleasant matter. Rid of the burden of the ranch, still the "bonanza of Lagunitas" will be his, as always.
My poor host in consequence comes out here on his pay, and, three years ago, just as he is hoping that the death of his aunt may give him opportunity to enforce a claim as next of kin to some portion of the property, the long-lost son returns, is recognized by his mother and the trustees, and installed in due heirship! The other romantic story is connected with Frere's marriage.
No one thought of shy Tiberius. Agrippa, by the way, was a strong man and a strict disciplinarian, with soldiers, at any rate: it might be hoped also with wives. It was just as well for lady Julia to be under a firm hand. Ten years later Agrippa died, and the heirship presumptive passed to his two eldest children by Julia: the princes Caius and Lucius. Augustus adopted them in due course.
His pretensions as to brothership with his prosecutor, and rightful heirship to the Hendon honours and estates, were left contemptuously unnoticed, as being not even worth examination. He raged and threatened on his way to punishment, but it did no good; he was snatched roughly along by the officers, and got an occasional cuff, besides, for his irreverent conduct.
And that in joy of life was slain, although * O man's Creator free of sin he be. God answered ''Twas his father's good thou saw'st * Him take; by heirship not by roguery; Yon woodman too that horseman's sire had slain; * Whose son avenged him with just victory: Put off, O slave of Me, this thought for I * In men have set mysterious secrecy!

In childhood, however, the actual heirship is apt to work on the principle of the "Borough-English" of our happier ancestors, and in most cases of inheritance it is the youngest that succeeds.
"Thou hast called Cæsar a madman, thou hast foreseen the heirship of Piso, and hast said, 'Lucan understands that there is need to hasten. What wouldst thou hasten, carissime?" Scevinus grew pale, and for a moment each looked into the eyes of the other. "Thou wilt not repeat!" "By the hips of Kypris, I will not! How well thou knowest me! No; I will not repeat.

As to the heirship, Captain Hannay had spoken freely as to his monetary affairs when he had been in England after his brother's death.
It will be time enough when all this tumult about the heirship has abated. And perhaps it will be best to let papa find it out in some natural way, when he will, I hope, be anxious to recognize you as Lady Carset's guest, and make atonement for his harshness at Oakhurst." "What a wise little diplomat you have become, Clara!" "Yes, I think so.
