Judge Bigelow and Squire Floyd are the executors." I saw her start slightly, and grow a little pale as I said this.
"Judge Bigelow, and Squire Floyd! That is extraordinary!" She was more disturbed than I had yet seen her in reference to this matter.
"It is remarkable, certainly, that Judge Bigelow, your legal adviser, should be one of the executors of a will, which determines your brother's estate out of the line of consanguinity." "He must, of course, cease to represent my interest in the case," remarked the lady.
"He cannot represent two diverse interests," said I.
"No; that is clear." She said this in a troubled way; and was, evidently, falling into a perplexed state of mind.

"Well, Doctor, what is to be done ?" She spoke with recovered self-possession, after a short period of silence, looking at me with her old calmness of expression.
I took some moments for reflection, and then said, "My advice is, to keep your own counsel, and wait until Mr.Wallingford returns from England.

Whenever you place this document in the hands of Judge Bigelow, he must go over to the adverse interest; when you will be compelled to seek another legal adviser.

You are not just ready for this; nor will be until after your agent comes back with the result of his investigations.

No wrong to any one can possibly occur from letting things remain just as they are for a few months." "I think your view of the matter correct, Doctor," was her reply.
