“How much insurance?”
“Fifty thousand.”
“In whose favor?”
“Mine.”
“Taken out when?”
“Two months ago.”

“No, not unless I had to.”
“I asked the question,” Mason said drily, “to get your viewpoint. The policy doubtless contains a clause making it void if suicide takes place within one year from the date of the policy.”
