”
I stared at him in an amazement that made me forget my shame.
“You New Jersey Devils Jersey will give it back?” I repeated.
“To-morrow,” he laconically replied.
Chapter 22
The Cypher.
Ah, my false heart, what hast thou done?
This is a story of fact; Salomon X-Tour 2 Kengät it is also a story of mental struggle. I shall not, therefore, be considered too diffuse if I say that this unlooked for ending to my unhappy adventure threw me into a strange turmoil of feeling, from which I had Belstaff Nowy Panther Kurtki no rest until the next day came. That they should promise to restore the will, to obtain which Mini Metallic Czyścibut 5854 they had resorted to measures almost criminal in their severity, awoke in me the greatest astonishment. What could it mean? I waited to see the will before replying.
It came, as Guy Pollard had promised, at noon of the following day. It was in a new envelope, and was sealed just as it had been before it left my possession. Had I not known into what unscrupulous hands it had fallen, I should have doubted if it had ever been opened. As it was, I was not only confident that it had been read from end to end, but fearful that it had been tampered with, and perhaps altered. To get it out of my hands, and if Connor Hellebuyck Jersey possible, my mind also, I carried it at once to Glenn Anderson Jersey Mr. Nicholls, who, I had ascertained that morning, had returned to town the day before.
He received me with affability, but looked a little surprised when he learned my errand.
“I was just going to call on the family,” said he; “I drew up Mr. Pollard’s will myself, and ——”
“You drew up Mr. Pollard’s will?” I hastily interrupted. “You know, then, its contents, and can tell me ——”
“Pardon me,” he as hastily put in, “the family have the first right to a knowledge of what Mr. Pollard has done for them.”
I felt myself at a loss. To explain my rights and the great desire which I experienced to ascertain whether the tenor of the paper he now held coincided with that which he had submitted to Mr. Pollard Casual Tall Škornji 5119 for his signature, necessitated a full relation of facts which I was not yet certain ought to be made Jake Bean Jersey public. For if the will had not been meddled with, and Mr. Pollard’s wishes stood in no danger of being slighted or ignored, what else but a most unhappy scandal could accrue from the revelation which I should be forced to make? Then, my own part in the miserable affair. If not Evander Kane Jersey productive of actual evil, it was still something to blush for, and I had not yet reached that stage of repentance or humility which made it easy to show the world a weakness for which I had no pity nor sympathy myself. Yet to guard the interests with Bailey Bow Czyścibut 3280 which I had been entrusted, it was absolutely necessary that the question which so much disturbed me should be answered. For, if any change had been made in this important paper by which the disposition of Mr. Pollard’s property should be turned aside from the channel in which he had ordered it, I felt that no consideration for the public welfare or my own good fame should Bailey Button Leopard 5803 hinder Michael Stone Jersey me from challenging its validity.
My embarrassment evidently showed itlinks:
