Mr. Lockley

Mr. Lockley was old, tired and insolent, though it wasn’t due to impatience and old age. For as long as I had known him, until his death bed, he had little interest in anything but capital. He hired me many years ago to look over his first book contract, to “make them pay for it.” And while they did pay for it, so did he. Mrs. Lockley filed for divorce when the first cheque came in.
