"Oh, in these days," Elsie interpolated, "a temple is only a church declasse." "She has only a life interest in the property," Wilson went on. "Berenice Morison is residuary legatee of almost everything, unless Mrs. Frostwinch has saved up her income." The talk ran on business for a few moments, Wilson advising with shrewdness, and practically deciding the matter for his wife.
Reed: his intention to adopt me and make me his legatee. "It would, indeed, be a relief," I thought, "if I had ever so small an independency; I never can bear being dressed like a doll by Mr. Rochester, or sitting like a second Danae with the golden shower falling daily round me.
Jeffrey is the testator in this case. "Some two years ago, Jeffrey Blackmore executed a will by which he made his nephew Stephen his executor and sole legatee; and a few months later he added a codicil giving two hundred and fifty pounds to his brother John." "What was the value of the estate?" Thorndyke asked. "About three thousand five hundred pounds, all invested in Consols.
The Colonel listened unmoved. "In any case you would have nothing to do with my brother's property," he remarked. "He left a will by which I was constituted sole legatee." "Then if she robbed anybody she robbed you?" "Certainly; and three years later she came and told me so." "Then how in the world does it concern me?" cried Harry impatiently.
These were entrusted by the philosopher to the care of his friend Mr. Davenport, and passed from his legatee into the possession of Mr. Nay, this is matter for the month of March, When hares are maddest. Either speak in reason, Giving cold argument the wall of passion, Or I break up the court.
Mr Podsnap inquires what would become of the very large fortune, in the event of the marriage condition not being fulfilled? Mortimer replies, that by special testamentary clause it would then go to the old servant above mentioned, passing over and excluding the son; also, that if the son had not been living, the same old servant would have been sole residuary legatee.
Clotilde felt, besides, some gratitude toward her grandmother, who had shown perfect disinterestedness on the occasion of the opening of Pascal's will. The latter had constituted the young woman his sole legatee; and the mother, who had a right to a fourth part, after declaring her intention to respect her son's wishes, had simply renounced her right to the succession.
21 Incorporeal as well as corporeal things can be bequeathed: thus a man can leave a legacy even of a debt which is owed to him, and the heir can be compelled to transfer to the legatee his rights of action, unless the testator has exacted payment in his lifetime, in which case the legacy is extinguished.
The property acquired by a slave he is often allowed to enjoy unmolested during his lifetime; but at his death, his master administers to the estate as heir, executor, and sole legatee. In fact, it is a government that inspires on all sides one universal distrust that rules by precedents of oppression without a view to protection.
"Nothing to you?" he asked sharply. "I'm the sole legatee?" "Oh, I have the house, of course," said Nan, "the one here and the place at Wake Hill. She had those only for her lifetime, you know. Yes, you're the sole legatee." "You haven't told anybody, have you?" he asked, in a despairing haste, as if he were seeking about for ways to suppress the document.
