The Old Man in the Corner

CHAPTER XXIII
11/11

The rest of the drama you know already--" "But Percival Brooks ?" "The jury returned a verdict of 'Not guilty.' There was no evidence against him." "But the money?
Surely the scoundrel does not have the enjoyment of it still ?" "No; he enjoyed it for a time, but he died, about three months ago, and forgot to take the precaution of making a will, so his brother Percival has got the business after all.

If you ever go to Dublin, I should order some of Brooks' bacon if I were you.

It is very good.".
