Twenty years ago it was known by several distinct names, among the more important being the Blue Beltons and Laveracks, and this regardless of any consideration as to whether or not the dogs were in any way connected by relationship to the stock which had earned fame for either of these time-honoured names.
"It's about the biggest thing on record, and is going to sweep the market. All the big 'uns are in it, Griffenberg and Wirsch and the Beltons. They say Sir Stephen has made half a million of money out of it already, and that he will make a couple of millions before he has done with it. There was a rumour in the city to-day that he was to get a peerage; for it's a kind of national affair, you see."
"I know enough of Wirsch and Griffinberg and the Beltons to be aware chat they wouldn't come down to the lakes at this time of the year unless there was something worth coming for, something and a pretty good sum to be made." Sir Stephen looked down at the floor for a moment, as if he were considering; then he leant forward.
Stafford looked up and smiled. "Any more?" "Oh, yes. There are the two Beltons and George Levinson, to say nothing of Mr. Griffinberg, the railroad king." Stafford stared at his claret glass. "I wonder why the governor has asked such a crowd?" he said, musingly. "A perfectly arranged symphony in colours, I call it," said Howard.
God, what a bankrupt he was! His father, his sweetheart, his wealth all had been taken from him. He did not think of Maude. At noon the following day there was a large meeting at Gloucester House. There gathered the Beltons, Baron Wirsch, Griffenberg, and the titled and untitled folk who had been concerned in Sir Stephen Orme's big scheme.
There had been Beltons of Belton living there for many centuries, and now he was the Belton of the day, standing on his own ground the descendant and representative of the Beltons of old Belton of Belton without a flaw in his pedigree! He felt himself to be proud of his position prouder than he could have been of any other that might have been vouchsafed to him.
