"It would be advisable to get his approbation of even the language." "That we intend to do, of course, sir.

Sir Wycherly, do you find the terms of this will to your liking ?" Sir Wycherly smiled, and very clearly gave the sign of assent.
"I thought as much--for, Atwood has made the wills of two admirals, and of three captains, to my knowledge; and my Lord Chief Justice said that one of the last would have done credit to the best conveyancer in England, and that it was a pity the testator had nothing to bequeath.
Now, Sir Wycherly, will you have one executor, or more?
If _one_, hold up a single finger; and a finger for each additional executor you wish us to insert in these blanks.

One, Atwood--you perceive, gentlemen, that Sir Wycherly raises but _one_ finger; and so you can give a flourish at the end of the 'r,' as the word will be in the singular;--hey! Atwood ?" The secretary did as directed, and then reported himself ready to proceed.
"It will be necessary for you now to _name_ your executor, Sir Wycherly--make as little effort as possible, as we shall understand the name, alone." Sir Wycherly succeeded in uttering the name of "Sir Reginald Wychecombe," quite audibly.
"This is plain enough," resumed the vice-admiral; "how does the sentence read now, Atwood ?" "'_Imprimis:_--I do hereby constitute and appoint Sir Reginald Wychecombe of Wychecombe-Regis, in the county of Herts, Baronet, the executor of this my said will, &c.'" "If that clause is to your liking, Sir Wycherly, have the goodness to give the sign agreed on." The sick man smiled, nodded his head, raised his hand, and looked anxiously at his kinsman.
"I consent to serve, Sir Wycherly, if such is your desire," observed the nominee, who detected the meaning of his kinsman's look.
"And now, sir," continued the vice-admiral; "it is necessary to ask you a few questions, in order that Atwood may know what next to write.

Is it your desire to bequeath any real estate ?" Sir Wycherly assented.

"Do you wish to bequeath _all_ your real estate ?" The same sign of assent was given.
