and be paid all usual professional charges for any business done by him or his firm in the ordinary course of his profession in relation to my estate or the trusts of my Will in the same manner as if he were not an Executor or Trustee of my Will.

24. THE China and Curios in my wife's sitting room in my said house are her own property and do not belong to me.

25.

IN WITNESS whereof I have to this sheet and the seven preceding sheets of paper containing this my Will set my hand this Seventeenth day of April One thousand nine hundred and twenty-five.
