The Thornfield Estate Inventory
≈ 9 min
Sir Edmund Thornfield died on 14 March 1923, leaving a sizeable country estate at Wharton Grange. His solicitor, Reginald Holt, has filed a formal inventory of moveable property for probate purposes, listing six categories of assets with their appraised values. A rival claimant to the estate, a distant cousin named Arthur Penwick, has alleged that at least one line of the inventory is misstated. The probate registrar has asked you to compare Holt's inventory against four independent records and identify any line that cannot be reconciled with those records.
The scene
1923, rural Yorkshire, England. The probate court has commissioned an audit of the estate inventory filed following the death of Sir Edmund Thornfield.
