INSERT—"That providing said Roland Stone has carried out previous instructions of the will, his father provides as follows:"
Roland, overcome with impatience, begins to get even more interested. Lord Howe-Greene clears his throat and goes on reading:
INSERT—"I bequeath to my son, Roland Stone, one unencumbered position in the Anglo-American Insurance Co. as soliciting agent with a guarantee of $25.00 per week."
Roland looks in astonishment at Lord Howe-Greene as does also Tom. Lord Howe-Greene clears his throat again and goes on reading:
INSERT—"If at the end of one year, the business said Roland Stone procures for the company has proven profitable, the same will be a proof of his good business judgment, and he is then to come into possession of my entire fortune."
Roland stares simply open-mouthed in astonishment and disappointment, while Tom can hardly believe his ears.
INSERT—"If on the other hand, the company at the end of one year has suffered a loss through the agency of said Roland Stone, my entire fortune shall be given to the support of the Washington Home for Incurables."
Roland, absolutely dumbfounded by the news, stares at Lord Howe-Greene, then looks around at Tom. Tom looks at Roland accusingly.
Roland then turns in discouragement and asks Lord Howe-Greene if there's any more. Lord Howe-Greene goes on reading:
INSERT—"It is further provided that conditions under which said Roland Stone is to work, shall be subject to the approval of Lord Howe-Greene."
