It is nowhere to be found: of course it was destroyed. 'I suppose there is no doubt of that? Hubert asked, with a show of indifference. 'There can be none. Mr. Yottle tells me that a will which existed. before Godfrey's marriage was destroyed in the same way. 'Who is the heir? 'A great-nephew bearing the same name. The will contained provision for him and certain of his family.
'It is not my wish' these words followed the directions 'to put the said Richard Mutimer above the need of supporting himself by honest work, but only to aid him to make use of the abilities which I understand he possesses, and to become a credit to the class to which he belongs. The executors were Hubert Eldon himself and the lawyer Mr. Yottle.
Claims of all kinds were addressed to him, some reasonable, most of them not to be entertained. Mr. Yottle was constantly at the Manor; there he and Hubert held a kind of court. Hubert was not well fitted for business of this nature; he easily became impatient, and, in spite of humane intentions, often suffered from a tumult of his blood, when opposed by some dogged mechanic.
He would be glad to see me. Again the suspicion was genuine. Mutimer felt himself hedged in; every avenue of escape to which his thoughts turned was closed in advance. There was no one he would not now have suspected. The full meaning of his position was growing upon him; it made a ferment in his mind. 'Mr. Yottle! Adela exclaimed in astonishment.
'If he did, Mutimer pursued, 'I suppose it was to think over the new one he was going to make. You know, of course, that he never intended this to be his will? 'We do not know what his last thoughts may have been, Adela replied, in a low voice but firmly. 'Yes, I think we do. I mean to say, we are quite sure he meant to alter this. Yottle was expecting the new will.
Yottle, saying he wanted to make change probably to execute a new will altogether. My dear, he destroyed it, and death surprised him before he could make another. 'He wished to make changes? 'Ah! Mrs. Mewling drew out the exclamation, shaking her raised finger, pursing her lips. 'And of that, too, I can tell you the reason. Mr. Mutimer was anything but pleased with young Eldon.
His eyes gleamed, and there was a centre of warm colour on each of his cheeks. He had taken a note-book from his pocket, and the leaves rustled under his tremulous fingers. 'The lawyer, a man called Yottle, just gave me an idea of the different investments and so on. The real property consists of a couple of houses in Belwick, both let, and an estate at a place called Wanley.
There's nothing like plenty of excitement. 'It's all very well for you, Willis. But if you had to sit at home all day doing nothing, you wouldn't find it so pleasant. 'Get some novels. 'I'm tired of novels, she replied, sighing. 'So Yottle was with them? Rodman said musingly, a smile still on his face. 'I wish I knew what terms they've come to with Eldon.
She obeyed him, glad again to rest her trembling limbs. 'If you suspect it to be a forgery, she said, when she had waited in vain for him to speak further, 'the best way of deciding is to go at once to Mr. Yottle. He will remember; it was he drew up the will. He flashed a glance at her. 'I'm perfectly aware of that. If this is forged, the lawyer has of course given his help.
'I've been to Belwick to-day, she began, sitting very close to Mrs. Waltham, whose lap she kept touching as she spoke with excited fluency. 'I've seen Mrs. Yottle. My dear, what do you think she has told me? Mrs. Yottle was the wife of a legal gentleman who had been in Mr. Mutimer's confidence. Mrs. Waltham at once divined intelligence affecting the Eldons. 'What? she asked eagerly.
