'None. I do not think my father made one.'
'No. He would have informed me if he had. He did nothing of importance without advising with me. But you may take this as the expression of his last wishes, and I can swear to every word. Jane Marley was present, saw him write, and because she spited me has cleaned out the scribble—all but the beginning. What has your father left?'
'I do not know—except debts.'
'Debts! but there is plenty of money for wiping them out.'
Jack shook his head.
'I say there must be.'
'Then where is it?'
'That is just what I supposed you knew. He did not tell me, though we were so intimate.'
'I have no idea as to what he was worth, and where he placed what he had.'
'My dear boy, he never spent one-tenth of what he made. He has been a hoarding man ever since I knew him, close and frugal. On himself he spent nothing.'
