"Have you ever known me to jest?" "Not wilfully." "Not, at any rate, upon parchment. Be so good as to run your eye over this." The little man took the copy of Silvanus Tellworthy's will and fumbled it between his fingers. "Is this some dirty trick of lawyer's work?" "It is." "Do you really wish me to read it?" "Unless you prefer me to explain." "I do vastly." "Very well, then."

Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch - The Blue Pavilions
