Dear Queenie,
My father has a collection of rare coins that I would like to inherit, but he is planning to sell it to some stranger. I offered to buy it from him but for some reason he refused my offer.
Queenie, do you have any suggestions?—Confused son
Dear Son,
Perhaps your father needs the money his collection will bring him, but is reluctant to accept financial assistance from his child(ren). Arrange for some stranger to act as your agent and buy the collection for you. Your father does not need to know that you are actually the buyer.
