"She examined the will carefully, when he perceived Miss. Annie Jamison open the stove door.—He at once moved to take hold of the will, suspecting her intention, when his suspicious were allayed by her asking her sister for the poker.
Thinking she wished only to poke the fire, he felt rather ashamed of his suspicious, when he was handed Harper's Magazine to look at. This for a moment diverted his attention, when, in an instant, the will was handed to Annie, with the leaves all opened, rammed into the hot stove, Mr. Craven pushed on one side, the light put out, and the will, before he could interfere, destroyed forever.
