CHAPTER XXXII
10/12

If you'll come to the office to-morrow morning, I'll show you the will." "You'll show me the will ?" asked Carnac with an edge to his tone.
"What do you mean ?" Tarboe did not like the look in the other's eyes.
"I mean, what you have you shall keep, and what John Grier leaves me by that will, I will not keep." "You will inherit, and you shall keep." "And turn you out!" remarked Carnac ironically.

"I needn't be turned out.

I hoped you'd keep me as manager.

Few could do it as well, and, as Member of Parliament, you haven't time yourself.

I'll stay as manager at twenty thousand dollars a year, if you like." Carnac could not tell him the real reason for declining to inherit, but that did not matter.
