CHAPTER VII
17/27

As next nearest of kin, I think both of us will run no risk if we smash the will.

If we don't smash it, the islanders will cheerfully take the legacy off our hands." "By Jove," muttered Deppy, looking at his wife.

Browne wants to speak to you about the rooms." "We are quite settled, Mr.Browne, and very well satisfied," she said pointedly, turning red with a fresh touch of anger.
"I trust you have not taken the rooms at this end." "We have.
