My wife leaned over my hospital bed and told me she had been making me i:ll for weeks — two days later I signed four documents, and only one of them was a will.

Everybody in that room for five weeks had something to say to me and not one of them had a question.

That is it. That is the whole of the reason and it is on a recording and it is in a court file and it has been read out.
