“Do you know where he has gone?”
“Well, not for sure, though, seeing the old man was a good sort o’ person as men go—a member of the Presbyterian Church, and one who never refused a call in the name of charity, I presume he has gone to heaven, if a man ever gets there.”
“Dead?”
“When did he die?”
“Yesterday. Are you a friend of the family?”
“Oh, no; only a lawyer who has done business for him occasionally.”
“Ah, yes.”
“How did he die?”
“Suddenly. Dr. Abbott can tell you all about it.”
