The lawyer shrugged his shoulders, and Ben broke out indignantly, "I wouldn't speak in that way of a man who had left me all his fortune."
"Mind your own business, boy," retorted John Tremlett sharply. "Do you think I am going to stand your impudence?"
"I think it is just as well you have waited till after Uncle Matthew's death before speaking of him in that way."
"Don't let up on the boy! Make him pay every cent of the debt, Brief!" exclaimed John Tremlett angrily.
"Of course we shall follow up the matter, Mr. Tremlett."
"Have him arrested if he doesn't pay, Brief."
Ben smiled.
"You seem to forget, Mr. Tremlett, that I am not your debtor. The claim is against my aunt."
"Is that so, Brief?"
"The boy is right."
