[The Man From Brodney’s by George Barr McCutcheon]@TWC D-Link bookThe Man From Brodney’s CHAPTER II 1/19
AN EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT It appears that the Messrs.
Skaggs and Wyckholme, as their dual career drew to a close, set about to learn what had become of their daughters. Investigation proved that Wyckholme's daughter had married a London artist named Ruthven.
The Ruthvens in turn had one child, a daughter. Wyckholme's wife and his daughter died when this grandchild was eight or ten years old.
By last report, the grandchild was living with her father in London.
She was a pretty young woman with scores of admirers on her hands and a very level head on her shoulders. Wyckholme held to his agreement with Skaggs by bequeathing his share of the property to him, but it was definitely set forth that at the death of his partner it was to go to Agnes Ruthven, the grandchild--with reservations. Skaggs found that his daughter, who married Browne the American, likewise had died, but that she had left behind a son and heir.
