' I'm sure the last day with him was the busiest. As a man lives so he dies: we can only hope he spent it well.'
But did he spend it as ' well ' as his wife might hope? John Fibbs - shopkeeper. Ulsterman, miser and small-time gambler in shares - has come to his last day in business. He sees his doctor and visits his lawyer. On that day,
John Fibbs discovers the value of his life - a value he hadn't accounted for.
