Percival enjoys a perfect life. He amassed his millions not by hard work, but thanks to devious means and his punctilious powers of persuasion.
He remained single until he reached his fifties. It was then he met and wed an attractive young lady who was twenty five years his junior.
When asked what he did to induce her, he admitted to lying about his age.
Everyone assumed he’d pretended to be considerably younger, but not so, it seems he convinced her that he was almost eighty and had but six months to live!

Very devious
That is too funny! A great way to start my day!
BTW, I hope he got a pre-nup, just in case.
All those years of being deviously punctilious really paid off! hehehe
It seems that way!
This is brilliant!
If he didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement, she’s going to figure it out and take him to the cleaners, just you watch. Such conniving always gets bit in the end.
Fun story!
HA!
Fascinating. I wonder how he pulled of looking older…?? Good one, Keith. A parable wrapped in a fun tale.
