The Galton Case (2011)
“The mailbox was stuffed with envelopes, mostly bills and circulars. There were two envelopes mailed from Santa Teresa in the past few days.
The first one I opened contained a check for a thousand dollars and a short letter from Gordon Sable typed on the letterhead of his firm. Sad as was the fact of Anthony Galton’s death, his client and he both felt that the over-all outcome was better than could have been hoped for. He hoped and trusted that I was back in harness, and none the worse for wear,... and would I forward my medical bills as I received them.
The other letter was a carefully hand-written note from John Galton: Dear Mr. Archer— Just a brief note to thank you for your labours on my behalf. My father’s death is a painful blow to all of us here. There is tragedy in the situation, which I have to learn to face up to. But there is also opportunity, for me. I hope to prove myself worthy of my patrimony.
Mr. Sable told me how you “fell among thieves.” I hope that you are well again, and Grandmother joins me in this wish.MoreLess
