Wood was personally managing this, and he represented to me that it was in bad shape and that if anything was made out of it, it would be by his efforts and he did not want an estate for a partner. He proposed to offset the estate's interest against the liability on the firm note held by the bank.
While Professor Andrew Fraser, Miss Nadine Johnstone, and the lovelorn Mattie Jones, were escorted to London by a head clerk of the estate's solicitors, Prince Djiddin and the "Moonshee" unbent their brows and rested from the nervous strain of the three weeks of continued deception.
You are wrong, sir I know better I know best I saw my Lord Runnymede himself this very morning a little temporary want of cash only from the estate's being tied up, as they sometimes tie estates, which all noble families is subject to Tell me! don't I know the bottom of these things? for though I haven't been used to land, I know all about it.
And, I may confess, on the afternoon of October 1st, I was in a receptive mood for such flies of information as might come to me concerning two large invading vans which had rumbled into our quiet precincts and, after a pause for inquiry, stopped before the Mordaunt Estate's newly repaired property at Number 37. The Mordaunt Estate in person was painting the front wall.
On the one side, Sir Gervaise, there is the danger of an ancient estate's falling into the hands of the crown, and this, too, while one of no stain of blood, derived from the same honourable ancestors as the last possessor, is in existence; or, on the other, of its becoming the prey of one of base blood, and of but very doubtful character.
"Little of both," allowed Worth. Cummings stepped close to him and let him have it direct: "I'm here to-night, Captain Gilbert, as executor of your father's estate. I have filed the will to-day. "You failed to locate? All the estate's here; this house, the down-town properties. What do you mean, failed to locate?" "I was not alluding to realty," said Cummings.
The table talk was of Celtic poetry, and proved less disturbing to Antoine than the previous night's discussion of ghosts. Their day had been spent, they explained, in a further examination of my uncle's Japanese loot, and they had taken a long walk beyond the estate's boundaries and were enthusiastic about the landscape. "It's so beautifully peaceful all about here," Alice murmured.
Pendyce ran on: "I've nursed the estate ever since it came to me; I've carried on the tradition as best I could; I've not been as good a man, perhaps, as I should have wished, but I've always tried to remember my old father's words: 'I'm done for, Horry; the estate's in your hands now." He cleared his throat. For a full minute there was no sound save the ticking of the clock.
"Good for nothing. He's most as scatter-brained as you are." Henry declined the combat, and after she sensed his intention, she went on, with increasing acridity. "The rest of the whole estate's tied up for a year in a trust, to see what you're going to do with some piece of property he deeded to you just before he died, but Mr. Archer wouldn't tell me much about it 'till you came home.
'Ay did he, gudewife, and the estate's sell'd by the same token; for they said they couldna have sell'd it if there had been an heir-male.
