The opinion

*243 Judge BECTON

concurring in the result.

Hesitantly, I concur in the result. Although the facts and equities tend to favor the defendant, it is not our task, considering the facts of this case, to determine the intent of the parties, to resolve the estoppel issue, or, in any way, to weigh the facts. Those matters are for a jury which may very well rule for the defendant.
