Chapter 25 - BEATRICE DIES

Beatrice died at eighty-two after a short illness.

No secret fortune.

No hidden confession.

No final command.

Her will was ordinary.

Jewelry.

Charities.

Relatives.

She left Rosalie the copper stockpot.

I was furious.

Rosalie laughed for ten straight minutes.

Inside the pot was a note:

You may throw this away.

Rosalie did not.

She had it cleaned professionally.

Then planted basil in it.

Beatrice would have hated that.

Perfect.
