Las cenizas de la pobre Julia estaban allí, junto con las urnas de su padre, su hermano y un hijo pequeño que había tenido la suerte de morir antes que su paranoico progenitor.
Poor Julia’s ashes were here, along with the urns of his father and brother and an infant son who had been lucky enough to predecease his paranoid sire.

Puesto que, al morir ella antes que su hija, esta última heredaba todos los bienes y, con solo sobrevivir a su madre cinco minutos, y suponiendo que no hubiese habido testamento (la existencia de uno era prácticamente imposible en un caso como este), se la habría considerado como muerta intestata.
For by her predeceasing her daughter the latter would have come into possession of the property, and, even had she only survived her mother by five minutes, her property would, in case there were no will—and a will was a practical impossibility in such a case—have been treated at her decease as under intestacy.
