"No, no; don't be too harsh!" cried Mr. Banker. "Remember he is your nephew."
"He is no longer any relation of mine! I've cast him off."
"You have, have you?" asked my friend, curiously.
"Yes, I have."
"Maybe you haven't any right to do it," went on Mr. Banker. "You've got his money in trust."
"Precious little of it."
"Yes? I reckon Robert Foster left quite a pile."
"No such thing."
"He was worth fifty or sixty thousand dollars."
"Fifty or sixty thousand dollars!" howled Mr. Stillwell. "It isn't quarter of that sum. He left five thousand dollars, and that's all."
