Poor George! I sympathized with him. I wondered now what else Tom had done.
George was very much upset. I was prepared for the worst. George could hardly speak. "A
few weeks ago," he said, "Tom became engaged to a woman old enough to be his mother.
And now she has died and left him everything she had: half a million pounds, a yacht, a house
in London and a house in the country. It is not fair, I tell you, it isn't fair!"
I couldn't help it. I burst into laughter as I looked at George's face, I nearly fell on the
floor. George never forgave me. But Tom often asks me to dinners in his charming house and
if he sometimes borrows money from me, it is simply from force of habit.
