But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison

31、. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. The thought of neither of these gave him any pleasure. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world.

32、 He possessed an aunt.She was his fathers only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade. Of course a

33、s soon as she became “Mrs Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brothers opinion.Hilary discovered his aunts address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. S

34、o Hilarys star shone again. When he was feeling honest, he could talk attractively. He frequently visited his aunts house; and soon he was living comfortably in the building which the profits of trade had provided.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illne

35、ss. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will. “Will?” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.”“Did

36、nt you make another will when you were married?” Hilary asked. His aunt shook her head. “No,” she said in a low voice, “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he alrea

37、dy believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunts only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilarys problems became serious. He badl

38、y needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was n

39、ow very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will. Hilary thought she migh

40、t leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decisionHe must do a great kindness to the poor old woman. One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep f

41、orever.“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? I have given you your chance. Dont blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ide

42、as, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldnt marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, youll get nothing No, Hilary, dont try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I dont want to know. Good night, Hilary.”Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.50. From the story
