Janet wants to consult you,
gpt
After all, then, I’m not the born idiot she’d like to make out. Now we’re getting at her real opinion of me!
human
It’s only about father’s estate,
gpt
Why? Hasn’t he made a will?
human
Oh yes! He made a will over thirty years ago. He left everything to mother and made her sole executor or whatever you call it. Just like him, wasn’t it? ... D’you know that he and mother never had a quarrel, nor anything near a quarrel?
gpt
Well, Edwin, nodding appreciatively, answered with an informed masculine air.
human
The law provides for all that. Tom will know. Did your mother make a will?
gpt
No. Dear thing! She would never have dreamt of it.
human
Then letters of administration will have to be taken out,
gpt
Father was talking of making a new will two or three months ago. He mentioned it to Tom. He said he should like you to be one of the executors. He said he would sooner have you for an executor than anybody.
