1. Harper & Grant Ltd. is on the verge of the biggest crisis in the history of the firm, but it has nothing to do with Ambrose Harper's death.

3. The mattress-makers over the road, Wentworth and Company have ten per cent of the shares.
4. Ambrose Harper has left two thousand of his two thousand five hundred shares to form a trust.
5. Ambrose Harper has left five hundred thousand pounds to his sister.
6. H.G. spoke to Caroline after the solicitor had finished reading Ambrose's will, and she told him she'd had a very generous offer for the shares.
7. H. G. is sure that only Wentworth, who wanted to get in Harper & Grant for a long time, knew Caroline was Ambrose's only remaining relative.
8. Caroline can sell her shares without offering them first to the other shareholders because Harper & Grant are a private company.

10. Peter Wiles is always in the red because he lives in a great way*.
11. H.G. and his colleagues have to raise a loan and buy enough of the shares to keep the controlling interest.
12. The total share capital had a market value of about five hundred thousand dollars when Ambrose Harper died.
13. If H.G. bought two hundred and fifty shares that would be about twenty-five thousand pounds.
