Payable on Death
There was a figure in the second paragraph.
It said that the estate asserted an outstanding obligation of forty-two thousand dollars against which the property would have to be realized.
Forty-two thousand dollars.
I had been staying at the house three or four nights a week since the funeral — not living there, exactly, sorting it.
My clothes were in the spare room.
My post was still going to my flat.
I read that letter standing in my own hallway at twenty past six in the evening and I want to describe what it did, because it is the most effective thing anybody did to me in four months and it had no legal force of any kind.
