"
You
must
prove
your
identity
of
course
,
"
resumed
St.
John
presently
:
"
a
step
which
will
offer
no
difficulties
;
you
can
then
enter
on
immediate
possession
.
Your
fortune
is
vested
in
the
English
funds
;
Briggs
has
the
will
and
the
necessary
documents
.
"
Here
was
a
new
card
turned
up
!
It
is
a
fine
thing
,
reader
,
to
be
lifted
in
a
moment
from
indigence
to
wealth
--
a
very
fine
thing
;
but
not
a
matter
one
can
comprehend
,
or
consequently
enjoy
,
all
at
once
.
And
then
there
are
other
chances
in
life
far
more
thrilling
and
rapture-giving
:
this
is
solid
,
an
affair
of
the
actual
world
,
nothing
ideal
about
it
:
all
its
associations
are
solid
and
sober
,
and
its
manifestations
are
the
same
.
One
does
not
jump
,
and
spring
,
and
shout
hurrah
!
at
hearing
one
has
got
a
fortune
;
one
begins
to
consider
responsibilities
,
and
to
ponder
business
;
on
a
base
of
steady
satisfaction
rise
certain
grave
cares
,
and
we
contain
ourselves
,
and
brood
over
our
bliss
with
a
solemn
brow
.

Besides
,
the
words
Legacy
,
Bequest
,
go
side
by
side
with
the
words
,
Death
,
Funeral
.
My
uncle
I
had
heard
was
dead
--
my
only
relative
;
ever
since
being
made
aware
of
his
existence
,
I
had
cherished
the
hope
of
one
day
seeing
him
:
now
,
I
never
should
.
And
then
this
money
came
only
to
me
:
not
to
me
and
a
rejoicing
family
,
but
to
my
isolated
self
.
It
was
a
grand
boon
doubtless
;
and
independence
would
be
glorious
--
yes
,
I
felt
that
--
that
thought
swelled
my
heart
.
"
You
unbend
your
forehead
at
last
,
"
said
Mr.
Rivers
.
"
I
thought
Medusa
had
looked
at
you
,
and
that
you
were
turning
to
stone
.
Perhaps
now
you
will
ask
how
much
you
are
worth
?
"
"
How
much
am
I
worth
?
"
"
Oh
,
a
trifle
!
Nothing
of
course
to
speak
of
--
twenty
thousand
pounds
,
I
think
they
say
--
but
what
is
that
?

Twenty
thousand
pounds
?
"
Here
was
a
new
stunner
--
I
had
been
calculating
on
four
or
five
thousand
.
This
news
actually
took
my
breath
for
a
moment
:
Mr.
St.
John
,
whom
I
had
never
heard
laugh
before
,
laughed
now
.
"
Well
,
"
said
he
,
"
if
you
had
committed
a
murder
,
and
I
had
told
you
your
crime
was
discovered
,
you
could
scarcely
look
more
aghast
.
