Добрый день, помогите перевести фразу:
Alive, Ackroyd could hardly have failed to after his will. Никак не могу понять, чего он не мог и при чём тут завещание.
Контекст:
As the story unfolded itself, I realized more and more what a damning series of facts it was. Alive, Ackroyd could hardly have failed to after his will – I knew him well enough to realize that to do so would be his first thought.
