“Estoppel is negative, not creative. Parks v. Simpson , 124 Ga. 523 , 524 ( 52 S.E. 616 ). `Its whole scope is to protect one from loss which, but for the estoppel, he could not escape, and should be limited to saving the party asserting the *Page 232 estoppel from loss.' Peacock v. Horne , 159 Ga. 707 (5) ( 126 S.E. 813 ).”
