figures on it , while David sat by the fire waiting to hear the words which would decide whether he would be able to keep the house or have to sell it .
β Here it is β , said Bill , β The figures are large David to say the least , with the stocks and shares the figure is just over 5 million pounds , congratulations David youβre a wealthy young man β , Bill said , reaching out to shake his hand .
He just sat on the chair totally numb , β 5 million β , David repeated , then burst out laughing . β You beauty , oh thanks Bill , I never expected that much β .
β Well Iβm glad youβre pleased , what are you going to do with it then David β .
β I really donβt know Iβd like to keep the house I suppose , just the way it is β , answered David .
β Iβm glad to hear it youβre aunt would be pleased , as you know there are a couple of people who rely on the house for there income , thatβs Alec and his wife Betty . They have been here a long time and Iβm sure will be happy to stay , how do you feel about that β , Bill asked .
β Yes I suppose we could keep it as it is , would it be possible to keep paying there wages from the money thatβs in the bank , that way the house and grounds will stay the same β .
β Iβm glad you think that way , Iβll set it up , thatβs if you want me to keep handling the estate business β , asked Bill .
β Yes Iβm happy with that , Iβd like to make a go of things and thereβs a mystery , I want to solve β , replied David .
After there business was completed David walked bill to his car .
β Something I want to ask you Bill β , David said as Bill got in his car .
β Ask away β , he replied .
β Did my aunt ever have any pets , like a cat β , David asked .
β A cat , I never saw a cat about the house , why do you ask β .
β Its just that thereβs this cat in the house and I thought that maybe it was herβs β , David asked . β As far as I know she didnβt have any cats , she had a bad chest and the cat hair would have made it worse , Iβm sure its not hers , probably a stray β , Bill said. β Strange anyway thanks Bill β , David said and waved him goodbye as he drove away back down the drive leaving him with mixed feelings , of joy and fear .
David strolled about the front lawn for a while , then sat down on a seat under an old oak tree which took up the centre of the front lawn . He sat there thinking , it was going to take time to get used to this , its all mine . Iβve went from a small bachelor flat in the middle of the city to a grand rolling estate in the scottish lowlands . I wonder if that makes me a lord or something what a laugh that would be , a lord at 25 a knight at 30 maybe . Iβd ask all my friends to call me sir especially Gary , he would love that I bet . I canβt wait to phone him , he thought , give him the good news the first thing he would say was can you give me a loan , and like a sucker Iβd give it to him . Gary had stood by him and helped him through the bad period in his life when Elizabeth had left him . She didnβt only take his heart but she also took his tv , and video also the hifi and the cds , she even took the bed and the carpet it sat on and ran up the limit on his credit cards . She was setting up another flat for herself and he had no idea . Never mind he had landed on his feet this time and was going to make a dam good go of things .
He got up from his seat in the garden and decided to walk into the nearest town Darvel and get some groceryβs , and on the way stop in at the gate house and tell Alec and his wife the good news . Walking down the road the sun shone through the woods and made the treeβs twinkle in the light . The woods were alive with wildlife and he felt it relaxing to hear the birds chirp and sing as they flew from branch to branch . Its only when you relax that you appreciate what a wonderful place this earth really is . David stumbled into a clearing with a large oak tree in it which seemed to populate the woods . On the bark of it was carved a large heart shape and in the centre was carved J + U , it was easy to imagine two young lovers pledging there love to one another .
Authors note, this is just the start of this book i have wrote but still not complete. My english grammar maybe not great and i have never written a story before so please look on my talent or lack of it kindly. If people want to read more of this story then please let me know. Thank you
