Ah, but not at all odd if you knew the background, as I did and as the solicitor did.

My favourite is my umpty great grandmother leaving everyone loads of money except for the flighty daughter, mother of three illegitimate children by three different fathers:
" and to my daughter Mary I leave my bed and mattress as she hath good use for it"
