I am not really sure of the reason for Aunt Dimity in this series, but I found a treasure of a scene in it. Lori's husband, Bill, is a lawyer and he explains one of his cases with their sons, Rob and Will. This is abridged.
As an estate attorney with an international clientele, he was always on call.
Will: "Are you going away, daddy?"
Bill: "Not tonight, but I may have to take a trip tomorrow."
Rob: "Why?"
Bill: "Because a very nice lady is about to die. When she does, I'll have to make sure that her toys go the right people."
Will: "Does she have little boys?"
Bill: "She has four grown-up sons and they don't get along very well."
Rob: "Oh, they'll fight over the toys."
Will: "If they fight too much, you can take the toys away."
Rob: "And bring them to us."
Will: "We won't fight over them."
Bill: "I'll bear that in mind"
Now that.... is the best way to describe what estate attorney's run into time to time.
