Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alice Devine I am Garthoyle; but the Gardens were not called after me. My uncle, Algernon Garthoyle, built them, a triangle of twenty-one houses in the heart of Mayfair, and called them after himself. When after the poor old chap´s funeral, his will was read, and I found that he had left them to me, I was indeed surprised. I had always taken it for granted that he would leave them to that strenuous politician, my cousin, Herbert Polkington. So had Herbert; and he did look disgusted. I should have thought myself deucedly lucky if my uncle had left me half of the hundred thousand pounds he had invested outside the Gardens; the Gardens themselves, twenty-five thousand a year, sounded too good to be true.
