"Dear Douglas, if you're reading this it's because you've found my father's old service revolver. I did on plan using this gun to take my own life if it ever came to it, but as you know in the end I jumped out of a window. I pass it on to you in the hope that if things ever get too bad you'll be able to take the easy way out. Hopefully it won't come to it, but if it does you must promise that you'll shoot yourself without a moment's hesitation. Your affectionate father, Mr Reynholm" – Denholm
