As we had anticipated, the bulk of Colonel Don Juan's wealth he had
bequeathed to Madame de Staemer, and she in turn had provided that all
of which she might die possessed should be divided between certain
charities and Val Beverley.
I thus found myself at the time when all these legal processes
terminated engaged to marry a girl as wealthy as she was beautiful.
Therefore, except for the many grim memories which it had left with me,
nothing but personal good fortune resulted from my sojourn at Cray's
Folly, beneath the shadow of that Bat Wing which had had no existence
outside the cunning imagination of Colonel Juan Menendez.
