"Not very easily. It's something like being measured for a gown. I must know what you have to leave and to whom you wish to leave it."
"But I don't want anybody to know."
"I'm not anybody."
"I know. I don't think, though, that I quite care to tell you."
"Then I'm afraid there'll be some little difficulty about executing your wishes in the matter."
"How much do wills cost?" she asked irrelevantly.
"It depends on the length."
"How much a yard?"
"We mostly sell them by the folio, not by the yard."
