My relative--Miss Pett--does not know what Mr.Kitely's profession had been, nor what Mr.
Kitely died possessed of.

She does not know--anything! And she will not know until I read this will to her after I have communicated the gist of it to you.

And I will do that in a few words.

The late Mr.Kitely, sir, was an ex-member of the detective police force.

By dint of economy and thrift he had got together a nice little property--house-property, in London--Brixton, to be exact.
