For my own part, I loathe and despise him.

Just now we are irritated with him, for we are all kept on tenterhooks regarding my dear Uncle Roger's Will.

For Mr.Trent, the attorney who regulated my dear uncle's affairs and has possession of the Will, says it is necessary to know where every possible beneficiary is to be found before making the Will public, so we all have to wait.

It is especially hard on me, who am the natural heir.

It is very thoughtless indeed of Rupert to keep away like that.
