The Vanishing Man

CHAPTER VII
15/31

But unless he should happen to have died in one of the places of burial mentioned--which is in the highest degree unlikely--his body will be, for the time being, 'deposited' in some place other than those specified.

In that case clause two is--for the time being--not complied with, and consequently George Hurst becomes, automatically, the co-executor.
"But will George Hurst carry out the provisions of clause two?
Probably not.

Why should he?
The will contains no instructions to that effect.

It throws the whole duty on Godfrey.

On the other hand, if he should carry out clause two, what happens?
He ceases to be an executor and he loses a legacy of some seventy thousand pounds.
