“T his cannot be.”
“I am afraid it is, my Lord.” His solicitor looked back at him with a
somewhat befuddled expression, although Henry was sure that it matched his
own. “You yourself came in here very early this morning. I had only just
arrived. You insisted that near to two thirds of your fortune be signed over to
the gentleman who accompanied you.
I did ask whether or not such a thing
was truly what you wished, but you were quite determined.”
“I do not recall any of this.” Henry thrust one hand through his thick,
light brown hair and shook his head. “I cannot understand what has taken
place. I should never have done such a foolish thing as that.”
“I confess myself a little surprised, my Lord,” his solicitor replied,
frowning slightly. “But you must understand, you were most insistent and a
little angry, I would add, when I did not do as you had asked immediately.”
Henry winced, aware now that the man before him had done everything
in his power to make certain that all was well. For whatever reason, it seemed
that Henry himself had been the one to give away his fortune to some
unknown gentleman.
“This cannot be,” he muttered again, although the heaviness of his
situation began to weigh down on his soul. It was not something he could
escape, not something he could turn away from. Not anymore. His life, as he
had known it, was at an end. “It must be reversed.” Snapping himself to
attention, he shot a hard look at his solicitor, ignoring the radiating pain
which began to creep up from his back towards his shoulders. “There must be
some way to reclaim the money. Might you be able to come up with a legal
document?
The man blinked rapidly, his face now a little pale.
“I would do such a thing if it were possible, my Lord.” Licking his lips,
he spread his hands. “I could make up the legal document required, but it
would need the signature of the gentleman you handed the money to in the
first place. Would you be able to bring him here for such a thing?”
Groaning, Henry dropped his head into his hands.
“Given that I cannot even recall his face, I certainly cannot offer you his
title.” An idea came to him, and he lifted his head. “His name must have been
on the initial document, however, must it not? The one where my money was
given to him.”
“Yes, my Lord, it was, but I was not permitted to see it. You are the only
one who could read the document and all I procured was the signatures.”
“And where is this document now?”
“You… You took it with you, my Lord. I wished very much to make a
copy given the situation and circumstances but-”
“You need not say it,” Henry interrupted. “No doubt I objected, or some
such thing is that not so?”
“It was most extraordinary,” the solicitor answered, his hands still out to
either side. “As your humble servant, however, I must do as you request. It is
your fortune, after all… as you reminded me yourself on many occasions this
morning.”
