The piece recounts how indulgent parenting ruined two children who lorded over staff and family, with a stern warning on consequences. It also follows a wild inheritance tale in which Hart Van Girten’s heirs search fruitlessly for years, then a inquest ends with a farmer discovering a $30,000 treasure hidden in an old stove. The twist reveals a fatal accident and a confession by a former bidder who hid the fortune.
