SKAGGS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe death of Taswell Skaggs was stimulating, to say the least,\u003cbr\u003einapplicable though the expression may seem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe attained the end of a hale old age by tumbling aimlessly into the\u003cbr\u003emouth of a crater on the island of Japat, somewhere in the mysterious\u003cbr\u003eSouth Seas. The volcano was not a large one and the crater, though\u003cbr\u003esomewhat threatening at times, was correspondingly minute, which\u003cbr\u003eexplains--in apology--to some extent, his unfortunate misstep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoreover, there is but one volcano on the surface of Japat; it seems all\u003cbr\u003ethe more unique that he, who had lived for thirty years or more on the\u003cbr\u003eisland, should have stepped into it in broad daylight, especially as it\u003cbr\u003ewas he who had tacked up warning placards along every avenue of\u003cbr\u003eapproach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInasmuch as he was more than eighty years old at the time, it would seem\u003cbr\u003eto have been a most reprehensible miscalculation on the part of the Grim\u003cbr\u003eReaper to have gone to so much trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut that is neither here nor there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaswell Skaggs was dead and once more remembered. The remark is proper,\u003cbr\u003efor the world had quite thoroughly forgotten him during the twenty odd\u003cbr\u003eyears immediately preceding his death. It was, however, noticeably worth\u003cbr\u003ewhile to remember him at this particular time: he left a last will and\u003cbr\u003etestament that bade fair to distress as well as startle a great many\u003cbr\u003epeople on both sides of the Atlantic, among whom it may be well to\u003cbr\u003einclude certain distinguished members of the legal profession.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147529535728,"sku":"2940013428553","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013428553_p0.jpg?v=1763580802","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013428553","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
