There's no witnesses, Hetty.
An inspired choice, Hetty.
Maybe the Director, maybe Hetty.
This isn't an office job, Hetty.
I don't determine the caseloads, Hetty.
Two years later, Hetty opened her first bank account.
Hetty had never read a book in her life.
You guys didn't tell Hetty about that, did you?
On board were Gary and Hetty, along with their daughter Katie.
Guess he'll just have to hear you some other time, Hetty.
But even investing the money from her father wasn't enough for Hetty.
Hetty, born Henrietta Howland Robinson in 1834,
was the daughter of Edward and Abby Robinson.
However, in the end, Hetty was able to wrangle approximately $600,000 out of her aunt's estate.
To avoid the legal troubles that were headed her way, Hetty and her husband moved to England.
Specifically, he reportedly threatened to have police and
judges that were on his payroll have Hetty's son imprisoned.
Huntington was upset with the exorbitant prices Hetty charged for small, but critically located, railroads she would acquired.
Lamb was also cared for by his paternal aunt Hetty, who seems to have had a particular fondness for him.
Upon receiving the gift of the wardrobe, Hetty promptly sold off the clothing and invested the money from the sale.
In the end, Hetty lost the case of“Robinson v. Mandell” with the court
determining the signature on the will was a forgery.
After contracting pneumonia at the age of
77 in one of her“cold-water,” cheap lodgings, Hetty finally relented and sought out better accommodations.
Hetty was“a good looking woman…[with]
angelic blue eyes” so this wouldn't have been a problem, but she had no interest in it.
Hetty had previously been supposed to inherit much of her mother's estate upon her passing,
but her father took most of it for himself.
Thus, Hetty challenged the will, even going
so far as forging a new one that stated her aunt's fortune should be left to Hetty.
Several articles by both Charles and Mary suggest that a quarrel between Aunt Hetty and her sister-in-law caused some tension in the Lamb's house.
The fact that Hetty had tried to swindle away her aunt's
estate via forging a will didn't sit well with a few of Hetty's cousins.
This didn't sit well with Hetty, who had taken to heart something her father had
once told her,“… never give anyone anything, not even a kindness.”.
Just before he died, Hetty's father told her he had been poisoned
and it was likely those who poisoned him would do the same to her.
