The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““A simple annuity, where no time is limited for its duration, ceases with the life of the annuitant: 2 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law, 2d ed. 393. But an annuity may be given for the life of another: Savery v. Dyer, 1 Dick. 162; In re Ord’s Trust, L. R. 12 Ch. Div. (1879) 22, in which James, L. J., said: ‘It has never been doubted that a gift of an annuity for a term or per autre vie is a gift to the annuitant and his personal representatives during the term of life of the cestuis que vie.’ ””
