Page 47 During the days ahead, you wait eagerly to see what the probate judge will decide to do with the diamonds. In fact, you are calling to testify at the hearing the following week. The court rules that the diamonds belonged to Jane Thrombey and, therefore, awards them all to Sylvia Ruston in accordance with Jane Thrombey’s will. At the hearing, the judge says this to you: “You used poor judgment in going back to the house and in taking the diamonds. On the other hand, you showed courage in a perilous situation, and good judgment in calling the police when you did. You helped bring one of the worst criminals in America to justice. Congratulations. You have a great future. THE END
