Excerpt from The Deep Heart
When Justin Mellor's great-uncle died, nearly a decade later than his sanguine hopes had pictured, he lost no time in beginning to carry out the plans deliberately formed during those arduous years of probation. Indeed, there was nothing to prevent him from using his substantial fortune in the way that seemed good to himself. It had come to him - late, it is true - but happily free from all those tiresome conditions with which testators so often harass and cripple their heirs, especially when the said heirs are not very nearly related. Yet, if obstacles had existed, it is certain that Justin would have discovered some clever means of evading them or of outflanking them. He had that kind of strategic mind.
"Thank goodness, I'm not too late. The Villa Annunziata is still in the market. What luck! The owner's been dead for at least eighteen months, and the agent says the daughter can't afford to live in it."
He made this speech to his friend Peter Clutton, the author, in the shabby rooms he was still content to occupy at the top of a tall house in Half Moon Street.
Justin had telephoned to Peter during the luncheon hour, begging him to come that evening. The message had run thus: "The will's all right - no sign of any other. Come to-night at nine."
