Peter, we came down this morning
to take whatever legal steps are necessary to put Dot in possession of
her grandmother's money, of which I have been trustee. Here is a lot of
papers about it. I suppose everything is there relating to it."
"Papa seemed to think it would be very wise to ask you to take care of
it, and pay me the income, I can't have the principal till I'm
twenty-five."
"You must tie it up some way, Peter, or Dot will make ducks and drakes
of it. She has about as much idea of the value of money as she has of
the value of foreigners. When we had our villa at Florence, she
supported the entire pauper population of the city."
Peter had declined heretofore the care of trust funds. But it struck him
that this was really a chance--from a business standpoint, entirely! It
is true, the amount was only ninety two thousand, and, as a trust
company would handle that sum of money for four hundred and odd dollars,
he was bound to do the same; and this would certainly not pay him for
his time.
