"You don't need to remind me of my duties." Will responded calmly. He had assumed his role as the head of the family half a decade ago. It hadn't been the most graceful transition, what with the suddenness of it all, but Will had it all well in hand now. The finances, the estate, Alice's and Gerald's inheritances were all maintained by him. Gerald could claim many things of Will, but irresponsibility wasn't one of them.
