lwonder if it makes a difference...

whether you go through a time like this or not.

Yes.

TheArabs don't consider time to be a measurable flow.

Not chronological like the course of a river.

For themtime is like the tides of the ocean.

Their language knows no future tense, only present.

Go on.

l thinktheArabs are right.

Cold?

Many people diewith tons of money and no heir.

lllegitimate children. Broken homes.

Klose isyour surname.

Paul Klose, your grandfather, will be the uncle of the deceased.

Andyour family tree is complete.

He disappeared 30years ago. lt leavesyou asthe sole heir.

And if not?

The tax authorities are breathing down my neck.
