No Doubt as to His Condition
Harry—I hear that you have lost your father. Allow me to express my sympathy.
Jack (with a sigh)—Thank you. Yes, he has gone; but the event was expected for a long time, and the blow was consequently less severe than if it had not been looked for.
H.—His property was large?
J.—Yes; something like a quarter of a million.
H.—I heard that his intellect, owing to his illness, was somewhat feeble during his latter years. Is there any probability of the will being contested?
J.—No; father was quite sane when he made his will. He left everything to me.
