"Was he? Well, I'm a second or third cousin, I don't know which. Never
saw him to my knowledge. In fact, I wouldn't have come on to the
funeral if I hadn't heard that he was rich. Expect to be remembered?"

"I don't think so. He hasn't taken any notice of mother or myself for

"I don't think there are."

"That's good. It makes our chance better, you know. I say, what's your
name?"

"Herbert Carter."

"Same as the old man's?"

"Yes."

"Did he know you was named for him?"

"Of course."

"Then he may leave you something for the name," suggested the other,
not very well pleased.

"I don't expect anything. What is your name?"
