介绍:
'He had some papers in his hands, these papers.' McFarlane took them out of his pocket and put them on the table. '"This is my will," he said. I've written it myself. But you are a lawyer. Please copy it for me. I will wait." I agreed to do this.
I started to copy this will but was very surprised when I read that he wanted to leave everything to me! Mr Oldacre was a strange little man with very white hair and grey eyes. When I looked at him, I saw that he found my surprise very funny.
He laughed and told me that he was unmarried and had no children. He knew my mother and father when he was a young man and wanted to help me to make my way in the world because I was their son.
I didn't know what to say, but I thanked him warmly and finished the will. Here it is.' McFarlane showed Holmes a blue piece of paper.
'Mr Oldacre then asked me to go to his house at Norwood yesterday evening because he had more papers there that I need to see. I didn't want to go, but I had to. "You must promise not to tell your mother or father about this," he said. "It must be a wonderful surprise for them." I promised him that I would say nothing, but I didn't understand why it was so important to him.'
