"You're back. I thought you would be." Mr Death smiled ghoulishly.
"I need to see Sir John's will, sir."
"I expected you might so I looked it up. He never made one, in which case everything goes to his next of kin."
"Who is...?"
"Pass me down the Debretts."

"What?" George exclaimed. "You reckon Sir John killed his own wife?"
"And tried to kill me," I added.
Mr Tibbles stretched and let out a yawn.
"George, should I tell Annie about my criminal past?"
"What!" he cried even more vehemently. "No! I forbid it!"

As I watched Annie's face during the service, I imagined her reaction were I to divulge to her the truth about my past.
So many of my correspondents have urged me to come clean, yet I find myself unwilling to do so.
I wondered what George would advise?

As I ploughed my way through my breakfast kipper, I considered what I had learned from Mr Death.
Sir John had married Lady Geeson for her money, unaware that the bulk of it was entailed in an unbreakable trust. Only on her death would he inherit.
Hmmm...

"Upon my word! If it isn't Mr Guy!"
Mr Death, the clerk at the will office of Doctors' Commons, beckoned me into his cubbyhole.
"To what do I owe the pleasure, pray tell?"
"Sir, I have come to consult a will," I replied, "that of the late Lady Geeson."

I smelled the cigar smoke as I approached the stairs to Mr Bruff's office, redolent with the smell of vanilla. Cautiously I followed the aroma.
I found my employer alone amid a thick fug of fumes.
"Was Sir John Geeson just here?" I asked.
