Talk:Recurring characters in the Hercule Poirot stories

Colonel Race: did he inherit Sir Laurence Eardsley's fortune?
I don't think that the eventual inheritance of Sir Laurence's fortune is made clear at the end of The Man in The Brown Suit. In Suzanne Blair's final letter it is stated that the ultimate distribution of Sir Laurence's estate is still uncertain: "This idea of renouncing a vast fortune is absurd. Colonel Race wanted to argue the matter, but I have persuaded him to leave the argument to time. He can administer the estate for Harry - and none better".Rithom (talk) 04:27, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
