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. |

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. |
