The
second
will
revoked
everything
except
the
legacies
to
the
low
persons
before
mentioned
(
some
alterations
in
these
being
the
occasion
of
the
codicil
)
,
and
the
bequest
of
all
the
land
lying
in
Lowick
parish
with
all
the
stock
and
household
furniture
,
to
Joshua
Rigg
.
The
residue
of
the
property
was
to
be
devoted
to
the
erection
and
endowment
of
almshouses
for
old
men
,
to
be
called
Featherstone
’
s
Alms
-
Houses
,
and
to
be
built
on
a
piece
of
land
near
Middlemarch
already
bought
for
the
purpose
by
the
testator
,
he
wishing
—
so
the
document
declared
—
to
please
God
Almighty
.
Nobody
present
had
a
farthing
;
but
Mr
.
Trumbull
had
the
gold
-
headed
cane
.
It
took
some
time
for
the
company
to
recover
the
power
of
expression
.
Mary
dared
not
look
at
Fred
.
Mr
.
Vincy
was
the
first
to
speak
—
after
using
his
snuff
-
box
energetically
—
and
he
spoke
with
loud
indignation
.
"
The
most
unaccountable
will
I
ever
heard
!
I
should
say
he
was
not
in
his
right
mind
when
he
made
it
.
I
should
say
this
last
will
was
void
,
"
added
Mr
.
Vincy
,
feeling
that
this
expression
put
the
thing
in
the
true
light
.
"
Eh
Standish
?
"
"
Our
deceased
friend
always
knew
what
he
was
about
,
I
think
,
"
said
Mr
.
Standish
.
"
Everything
is
quite
regular
.
Here
is
a
letter
from
Clemmens
of
Brassing
tied
with
the
will
.
He
drew
it
up
.
A
very
respectable
solicitor
.
"
"
I
never
noticed
any
alienation
of
mind
—
any
aberration
of
intellect
in
the
late
Mr
.
Featherstone
,
"
said
Borthrop
Trumbull
,
"
but
I
call
this
will
eccentric
.
I
was
always
willingly
of
service
to
the
old
soul
;
and
he
intimated
pretty
plainly
a
sense
of
obligation
which
would
show
itself
in
his
will
.
The
gold
-
headed
cane
is
farcical
considered
as
an
acknowledgment
to
me
;
but
happily
I
am
above
mercenary
considerations
.
"
"
There
’
s
nothing
very
surprising
in
the
matter
that
I
can
see
,
"
said
Caleb
Garth
.
"
Anybody
might
have
had
more
reason
for
wondering
if
the
will
had
been
what
you
might
expect
from
an
open
-
minded
straightforward
man
.
For
my
part
,
I
wish
there
was
no
such
thing
as
a
will
.
"
"
That
’
s
a
strange
sentiment
to
come
from
a
Christian
man
,
by
God
!
"
said
the
lawyer
.
"
I
should
like
to
know
how
you
will
back
that
up
,
Garth
!
"
"
Oh
,
"
said
Caleb
,
leaning
forward
,
adjusting
his
finger
-
tips
with
nicety
and
looking
meditatively
on
the
ground
.
It
always
seemed
to
him
that
words
were
the
hardest
part
of
"
business
.
"
But
here
Mr
.
Jonah
Featherstone
made
himself
heard
.
"
Well
,
he
always
was
a
fine
hypocrite
,
was
my
brother
Peter
.
But
this
will
cuts
out
everything
.
If
I
’
d
known
,
a
wagon
and
six
horses
shouldn
’
t
have
drawn
me
from
Brassing
.
I
’
ll
put
a
white
hat
and
drab
coat
on
to
-
morrow
.
"
"
Dear
,
dear
,
"
wept
Mrs
.
Cranch
,
"
and
we
’
ve
been
at
the
expense
of
travelling
,
and
that
poor
lad
sitting
idle
here
so
long
!
It
’
s
the
first
time
I
ever
heard
my
brother
Peter
was
so
wishful
to
please
God
Almighty
;
but
if
I
was
to
be
struck
helpless
I
must
say
it
’
s
hard
—
I
can
think
no
other
.
