A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jim ;but if there is, youve got to get round it. You re a lawyer and you know the game. You re my pal and the best pal Ive had, Jim, and youll do it for me. The dying man looked up into the old eyes that were watching him with such compassion and read their acquiescence. No greater difference could be imagined than existed between the man on the bed and the slim neat figure who sat by his side. John Millinborn, broad-shouldered, bigfeatured, a veritable giant in frame and even in his last days suggesting the enormous strength which had been his in his prime, had been an outdoor man, a man of large voice and large capable hands ;J ames Kitson had been a student from his youth up and had spent his manhood in musty offices, stuffy courts, surrounded by crackling briefs and calf-bound law-books. Yet, between these two men, the millionaire ship-builder and the successful solicitor, utterly different in their tastes and their modes of life, was a friendship deep and true. Strange that death should take the strong and leave the weak ;so thought James Kitson as he watched his friend. Ill do what can be done, John. You leave a great responsibility upon the girl a million and a half of money. The sick man nodded.
