The Will
I,Havelock Cartwright , being of sound mind and body do hereby declare this to be
my last will and testament.
My dear family and friends, as you are hearing this I must assume that I have disappeared and gone to that great illusion in the sky called Heaven, or more likely the other place! I don’t want you to mourn me, I want you to have a bloody good time; and to aid the process this is my last Will and Testament:
To my dear wife Enid I leave our second best bed, her lover and the knowledge that I am not as stupid as she clearly thought I was.
To my eldest son Ulysses I leave my magic wand in the hope that he can turn himself into a man instead of the pathetic little wimp he has turned out to be… Infidelities aside of course!
To my daughter Elisa I leave a pair of my trousers so that she can become the son I had hoped for. Let’s hope she is more successful in keeping them zipped up than she is at keeping her knickers above her knees.
To my youngest son Grantchester, I leave his mother, so that he can continue to hide behind her skirts instead of standing up to me like a real man. I am proud, however, that he dared to break the seventh commandment.
To my faithful factotum Zacharia Wilkins I leave my daughter Elisa.
To Delicious Wilkins, for services above and beyond the call of duty, I leave my entire estate, my vast fortune, my flat in California, my condo in Barbados, my fleet of cars, my private jet and last but not least my very first conjuring set.
Testator Initials: HC
Witness Initials: H. G. R. C.
