General Discussion - That is to say, not q1082200062 - Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:36 pm Post subject: That is to say, not
`Not admissible. The principal to go to Sir Percival Glyde, UGG Boots Discount in the event of his surviving Lady Glyde, and there being no issue.'
That is to say, not one farthing of the twenty thousand pounds was to go to Miss Halcombe, or to any other relative or friend of Lady Glyde's. The whole sum, if she left no children, was to slip into the pockets of her husband.
The answer I wrote to this audacious proposal was as short and sharp as I could make it. `My dear sir. UGGS Clearance Miss Fairlie's settlement. I maintain the clause to which you object, exactly as it stands. Yours truly.' The rejoinder came back in a quarter of an hour. `My dear sir. Miss Fairlie's settlement. I maintain the red ink to which you object, exactly as it stands. Yours truly.' In the detestable slang of the day, we were now both `at a deadlock, and nothing was left for it but to refer to our clients on either side.
As matters UGG Boots Clearance stood, my client -- Miss Fairlie not having yet completed her twenty-first year -- Mr Frederick Fairlie, was her guardian. I wrote by that day's post, and put the case before him exactly as it stood, not only urging every argument I could think of to induce him to maintain the clause as I had drawn it, but stating to him plainly the mercenary motive which was at the bottom of the opposition to my settlement of the twenty UGG Boots Clearance thousand pounds. The knowledge of Sir Percival's affairs which I had necessarily gained when the provisions of the deed on his side were submitted in due course to my examination, had but too plainly informed me that the debts on his estate were enormous, and that his income, though nominally a large one, was virtually, for a man in his position, next to nothing. The want of ready money was the practical necessity of Sir Percival's existence, and his UGGS Clearance lawyer's note on the clause in the settlement was nothing but the frankly selfish expression of it.
Mr Fairlie's answer reached me by return of post, and proved to be wandering and irrelevant in the extreme. Turned into plain English, it practically expressed itself to this effect: `Would dear Gilmore be so very obliging as not to worry his friend and client about such a trifle as a remote contingency? Was it likely that a young woman of twenty-one UGG Boots Clearance would die before a man of forty-five, and die without children? On the other hand, in such a miserable world as this, was it possible to over-estimate the value of peace and quietness? If those two heavenly blessings were offered in exchange for such an earthly trifle as a remote chance of twenty thousand pounds, was it not a fair bargain? Surely, yes. Then why not make it?' ivy00135 - Wed Nov 07, 2012 4:39 am Post subject: 制服酒店 酒店上班 高雄酒店經紀 台南酒店經紀 高雄酒店經紀 高雄高登酒店經紀公司 便服酒店 傳播小姐 公主 制服酒店 台北酒店 國外打工 奧客 女服務生 威尼斯酒店 寒假打工 小吃部 少爺 常董 新富爺101酒店 暑期打工 酒店 業績幹部 治裝費 禮服酒店 訪檯副總 訪檯幹部 酒家女 酒店上班 酒店公關 酒店兼差 酒店小姐 酒店工作 酒店應徵 酒店經紀 飯局小姐 高雄酒店 高雄酒店經紀 酒店經紀 高雄酒店 高雄酒店經紀 便服酒店 酒店上班 閃酒
