His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to (奉献于…) fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters (大师). Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will (遗嘱) as to how his wealth would be settled – to sell his entire collection (收藏) at an auction (拍卖). Because of the large quantity (数量) and high quality (质量) of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors (董事) and private collectors (收藏家) eager to bid (出价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention. When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer (拍卖商) gaveled (敲槌) the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son. The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders, except one old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional (情感的) reasons offered the only bid. As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will.
