My relations, it is needless to mention, they will, of course, be amply provided for. Witness, HENRY BLACKWOOD. T.M. HARDY. It is of little importance whether this codicil was written at the same time as the prayer or a couple of hours before; that neither adds to nor detracts from the object of it. No definite opinion of the time is given. Blackwood and Hardy, as witnesses, would know.
Twenty-five thousand dollars he left to Columbia College, but unfortunately repented, and annulled the bequest in a codicil. We need not enlarge on the success which has attended the bequest for the Astor Library, a bequest to which Mr. William B. Astor has added, in land, books, and money, about two hundred thousand dollars. It is the ornament and boast of the city.
He concluded by declaring that the regency was impossible under such conditions, and that he doubted not the wisdom of the assembly would annul a codicil which could not be sustained, and the regulations of which would plunge France into the greatest and most troublesome misfortune. Whilst this prince spoke a profound and sad silence applauded him without explaining itself.
Lionel have got Verner's Pride at last, and he ain't a-going away at all, and the bells be a-ringing for it. Mother have sent me to tell the gamekeeper. She said he'd sure to give me a penny, if I was the first to tell him." Roy let go the boy. His arms and his mouth alike dropped. "Is that that there codicil found?" gasped he. Dan Duff shook his head. "I dun know nothink about codinals," said he.
Then he took advantage of Aunt Mildred's state of weakness, and worried and coaxed her into making this unjust codicil. All in his favour, of course; I don't believe poor aunt knew what she was doing. And we shall have to shift for ourselves now. I hope he will enjoy his unrighteous possessions. I I hate him! 'What are we going to do?
"This curious will has dragged its slow length over three years and now we haven't finished with it, quite. Here's a codicil still to be read its last word, written later, just two days before Mr. Graham's death, so it seems."
The lawyer smiled as he handed it to him. All his clients were not so cautious. Some might have said, "so mistrustful." Mr. Verner found the codicil all right, and the bell was rung for Tynn. Mrs. Tynn happened to come in at the same moment. She was retreating when she saw business a-gate, but her master spoke to her. "You need not go, Mrs. Tynn. Bring a pen and ink here."
He agreed to add a codicil to his will, giving her an additional million dollars if she would perform a "simple service" for him. That was the way he styled it: a simple service! Merely the dropping of four little tablets into a tumbler of water and holding it to his lips to drain! Suicide with a distinction, murder by obligation!
"Don't say, 'if we can come across it, Matiss." "Very good, Mr. Bitterworth. I'm sure I should be glad to see it found. Where else are we to look?" Where else, indeed! That Mr. Verner could not get out of the room to hide the codicil was an indisputable fact; and nobody else seemed to know anything whatever about it.
Massingbird should remain in his cottage in concealment, while he, Roy, endeavoured to ascertain the truth regarding the codicil. And John Massingbird was fain to adopt it. He took up his abode in the upper bedroom, which had been Luke's, and Mrs.
