Druce was in a large way of business at the Baker-street Bazaar, an enterprise opened about 1834 or 1835, with a capital estimated at 100,000l. At that time the Duke had not succeeded to his family estates, but was Marquis of Titchfield.
The link between him and the Medhursts had been from the first one of more than ordinary friendship. For, some thirty years before, when Mrs. Medhurst was only seventeen, Archibald Druce had been a suitor for her hand. But her romance with John Medhurst had already begun, and she waited to marry her true love seven years later.
He was but too conscious of that attitude as he waited on the platform for the train to arrive it had gradually become an intolerable irony to him. "I'm perfectly ravenous," said Archibald Druce. "We must lunch at once."
And with all his emotion at this sacred moment there mingled a sense of pride that his poet's instinct had divined true. "I am happy to know you, Mr. Druce. Mr. Ingram has just explained to me why he has brought you. I am so sorry to be the cause of your anger." Her voice was curiously soft, without the least ring or even suggestion of firmness; warm and yielding as a summer wavelet.
Stuart went to Welbeck to arrange for the departure with her two children. She died not long afterwards. The last time that Mrs. Hamilton says she saw Druce was in 1876, when he called at her father's and complained of being unwell. He spoke of his visits to his old friend Stuart as being the happiest hours of his life. Some little time after the sham burial Mrs. Annie May Druce came to Mrs.

Jack Melland left, too, so only one out of the four remains, and he is certain to be the heir." "You mean Mr Victor Druce?" Ruth started, raising a flushed, bewildered face. "Yes; but how, what do you know about him?" "Trix brought some of your letters to show us. His name was mentioned very often, Ruth. I had a presentiment that you two would be more than friends.

But when he recollected that Druce himself was going, he said, "Where could a telegram reach us, if it were necessary to telegraph? The market is a trifle shaky, and I don't like being out of town all day." "The fact that we are both on the yacht will steady the market.
Besides this, the General had the reputation of being a "square" man, and that naturally told against him, for every one knew that Druce was utterly unscrupulous. But if Druce and Sneed were known to be together in a deal, then the financial world of New York ran for shelter.
