Chapter IV
THE CITY LAWYER AND THE CLIENT FROM THE WILD AND WOOLLY WEST Aunt Depew had lived on the rentals of the property she had left to her nephew. Loide had been her solicitor for nearly twenty years. She had a blind confidence in him--that way fraud lies. Absolute trust in a man oft tempts him to break it. Regularly every quarter he had paid over to her the rentals of the properties; that was all she had cared for.
