He did not know how the estate might be left how tied up and hedged round by executors and trustees, shutting him out of his present almost proprietorial enjoyment of the place. Some smug London lawyer, perhaps, would put his sleek paw upon everything during the boy's minority. Sir Reginald had never talked to Brian of his will.
But Louis told them that Marcella must be at Lashnagar, and Edinburgh was nearer Lashnagar than London was.
