Mr. Meeson’s Will

CHAPTER XVI
3/12

"Well, I have come to see about a will." "So I understand," said James; "but what will, and where is it ?" "Well, it's a will in my favour, and is tattooed upon a lady's neck."

"I presume, Meeson, that this is not a hoax," said James, severely.

"I presume that you know too well what is due to learned counsel to attempt to make one of their body the victim of a practical joke ?" "Surely, Meeson," added John, "you have sufficient respect for the dignity of the law not to tamper with it in any such way as my brother has indicated ?" "Oh, certainly not.

It is a true bill, or rather a true will." "Proceed," said James, resuming his seat.

"This is evidently a case of an unusual nature." "You are right there, old boy," said Eustace.
