The Tragedy of Arthur: a Novel
“In the same call, he requested my “word as a gentleman” that his time consulting on the probate, as well as a lingering balance from my father’s old accounts, would be “taken care of appropriately out of proceeds.”
Besides that unfortunate reminder of my father’s legacy, the will itself cattle-prodded my most predatory suspicions. He had drafted it two months before his release from prison, before the visit where he haltingly, so sincerely, lured me into this folly. Nevertheless, he wrote it as... if my participation were a certainty. First: “I direct that my son, Arthur M. Phillips, serve as my literary executor, and I direct that he see to the publication, protection, and promotion of the play The Most Excellent and Tragical Historie of Arthur, King of Britain by William Shakespeare, so as to maximize the financial return from the play to its beneficiaries. I hereby give and bequeath ownership of my copy of the 1597 edition of that play, and all monies which may be derived therefrom, in the following percentage shares: 28 percent to my said son, Arthur M.MoreLess
