...Janet Beecher, who has a public, played it. She was an extravagant widow with seven children; these with the exception of the youngest abused her for wasting their inheritance. The one who was loyal was rewarded when the lady next door, who had loved his pretty, boyish face, left him $500,000 when she died. Thus there was plenty dough for everybody...
