Nobody doubts that the result would have been the same if a will had been made.

The father and son had every confidence in each other, and were known to have always lived together on the most friendly terms.
Mrs.Lecount remains with Mr.Noel Vanstone, in the same housekeeping capacity which she filled with his father, and has accompanied him to the new residence in Vauxhall Walk.

She is acknowledged on all hands to have been a sufferer by the turn events have taken.

If Mr.Michael Vanstone had made his will, there is no doubt she would have received a handsome legacy.

She is now left dependent on Mr.Noel Vanstone's sense of gratitude; and she is not at all likely, I should imagine, to let that sense fall asleep for want of a little timely jogging.
