Details |
Miss Fitzbodkin: (hurriedly, to her expectant nephew, as she falls from the top of the Monument): Now remember, Cecil, that Jane is to have the grandfather's clock; Arthur, the two silver ornaments on the mantelpiece; Roy, the fish-knives, you will, of course, pay the funeral expenses, and...
The Expectant Nephew (after a minute's interval): Well, I'm blithered, and she didn't even pay the fares!
A nephew unexpectedly and disappointingly missing out on an inheritance he was hoping for from a spinster aunt.
