Well, my man, I may tell you at once that I shall not renounce probate. I never expected a penny from my cousin. I always assumed he'd do something silly with his money, and I'm relieved to find it's no worse. In fact, the idea of a great public institution in London being associated with my family is rather pleasant. (CARVE: But he meant to destroy that will long since.) (As he cons the will.) How do you know? Has he made a later will? (CARVE: No.) Well, then! Besides, I fail to see why you should be so anxious to have it destroyed. You come into eighty pounds a year under it.
