"Well, sir, I am listening," says my uncle. My grandfather took a puff or two in silence; and then, "Ye're makin' an awfu' poor appearance, Aadam," said he. My uncle visibly reared at the affront. "I'm sorry you should think so," said he, "and still more sorry you should say so before present company."
"It's me that speaks here," he said curtly; and we waited the coming of the lawyer in a triple silence. He appeared at last, the maid ushering him in a spectacled, dry, but not ungenial-looking man. "Here, Gregg," cried my grandfather, "just a question: What has Aadam got to do with my will?" "I'm afraid I don't quite understand," said the lawyer, staring.
"So that, if I like," concluded my grandfather, hammering out his words, "I can leave every doit I die possessed of to the Great Magunn?" meaning probably the Great Mogul. "No doubt of it," replied Gregg, with a shadow of a smile. "Ye hear that, Aadam?" asked my grandfather. "I may be allowed to say I had no need to hear it," said my uncle. "Very well," says my grandfather.
Your mither was always my fav'rite, for A never could agree with Aadam. A like ye fine yoursel'; there's nae noansense aboot ye; ye've a fine nayteral idee of builder's work; ye've been to France, where they tell me they're grand at the stuccy. A splendid thing for ceilin's, the stuccy! and it's a vailyable disguise, too; A don't believe there's a builder in Scotland has used more stuccy than me.
"Set down upon your hinderlands," cried my grandfather, almost savagely. "If Aadam has anything to say, let him say it. It's me that has the money here; and, by Gravy! I'm goin' to be obeyed."
"So that, if I like," concluded my grandfather, hammering out his words, "I can leave every doit I die possessed of to the Great Magunn?" meaning probably the Great Mogul. "No doubt of it," replied Gregg, with a shadow of a smile. "Ye hear that, Aadam?" asked my grandfather. "I may be allowed to say I had no need to hear it," said my uncle. "Very well," says my grandfather.
