Mr.Owlett appended his own name, and then Prindle stepped up to sign.

As he saw the signature "David Helmsley," he paused and seemed astonished.

Mr.Owlett gave a short laugh.
"We know that name, don't we, Prindle ?" "Well, sir, I should say all the world knew it!" replied Prindle.
"All the world--yes!--all except our friend here," said Owlett, nodding towards Helmsley.

"You didn't know, my man, did you, that there was a multi-millionaire existing of the same name as yourself ?" "No, sir, I did not!" answered Helmsley.

"I hope he's made his Will!" "I hope he has!" laughed the attorney.
