The family were indeed in suspense about many things, the latest, since Richard Wilkins had informed them of the solicitor’s visit, being the contents of the will. The stress of living on top of one another was getting unbearable, especially as many of them disliked each other. Now suspicions and jealousies were rife and in the tense atmosphere conversation was limited.

After breakfast, Tristram was sitting in a corner of the sitting room trying to keep out of the way of everyone and wondering how he’d got caught up in this awful family. He still thought Poppy was worth it, however; and shortly she might have the money to solve their financial problems.

James Forsyth came into the room. ‘Morning, Tris,’ he said jovially. He sat down near him, leaned over conspiratorially and said in a hushed voice, ‘It’s bloody terrible, isn’t it? If looks could kill, as they say. I’m glad I shan’t be there when the damned will is read; it could be a bloodbath!’

‘I know.’

‘I’ll tell you what, do you fancy going out for a spot of shooting? Alex has a headache so she’s lying down. It’ll get us out of the house. It’s not the game season, but we could see if we can bag a few rabbits and reduce the crow population.’

‘Good idea,’ replied Tristram. ‘Poppy’s gone to see her grandmother. Do you know where the guns are kept?’

‘No problem. I’ve been out many times with Freddy. There’s a gunroom near the stable block. We’ll get one of the estate workers to sort us out.’
