S. W.'s will has been probated, it being certain now that he is dead. I am sole executor and guardian of the children in case his wife should pass away without a will. She will I am sure." "The infamous wretch!" exclaimed Josie, In many of the letters there was a response to a plea for money and more money. "I send you all I can spare. Don't let the brats spend so much.
But if Vaughan had been declared insane, the will could never have been probated no contest would have been necessary. Do you see the difference?" "I see what you mean; but I don't think it amounts to much. Silva declares that if Miss Vaughan contests the will, he will not defend it." "But he knows perfectly well that she will not contest it.
"Yes, I do know what you'd do with it! You'd take it right off and have it probated or executed or whatever it is they do to wills, and turn me straight out in the gutter. That's just what you're longing to do this very moment. Oh, I know, Billy Woods I know what a temper you've got, and I know you're keeping quiet now simply because you know that's the most exasperating thing you can possibly do.
He must have taken the other will out to destroy it just just before he died. Perhaps perhaps " Billy paused for a little and then laughed, unmirthfully. "It scarcely matters," said he. "Here is the will. It is undoubtedly genuine and undoubtedly the last he made. You'll have to have it probated, Peggy, and settle with the colleges.

I think Billy was surprised. She stood over him, sharply outlined against the darkness, clasping her hands tightly just under her chin, ludicrously suggestive of a pre-Raphaelitish saint.
I'm through cutting her off, Curly, and I'm happy. I've left it as clean as I know how. Now I'll bet you a thousand dollars I can beat you three games out of five at mumblety-peg. My executor, without bond," says he, going right on, "is Old Man Kimberly." "You're on, Colonel," says I; "though I don't know where I'll get a thousand till after your will is probated."
She learned that it did not concern her at all, and was to be probated, in accordance with the dead man's instructions, at the Fall term of court. "Then, as yet," she said, with a gleam of satisfaction in her small, beady eyes, "they ain't holdin' the house legal. Any of us has the same right to stay as them Carrs." "That's as you look at it," returned Mr.
But before the week was out he had persuaded the three old maids that they would be happier if away from the scene of their parent's death, so he had them installed in their own house at Harlem, he remaining in undisturbed possession, waiting only for the will to be probated in order to take possession of upward of $200,000 in cash and bonds still in the custody of the old lady's bank.
