(1927)
“ But on the night when the will was to be read, there was something more tangible than a ghost in the house. "I have come to read the will of Cyrus West. Have any of the heirs arrived yet?" "No, Mr. Crosby." "You must have been lonely here these twenty years, Mammy Pleasant." "I don't need the living ones." "I locked this safe twenty years ago——and now a moth comes out!" "Who has been in this house?" "No one but I——and his ghost." "No ghost could have opened these envelopes——" "Nobody knows the combination of that safe but——you!" ”
