8 MISS BADSWORTH, M.F.H. 



He had no intention of dying if he could help it, so the 

 matter rested, and he pretended to himself that he was 

 satisfied. 



That was in the early days of February. 



Before March was out he drew up another document, 

 duly signed it in the presence of witnesses and stowed it 

 away in a place of security ; he would think the matter over, 

 decide between the two, and submit the one which he fancied 

 to his lawyers when the season was over.
