"I don't know what right you have to speak of exposing us to society like that," cried Ursula, quivering all over with sudden excitement. She felt as if some one had dug a knife into her, and turned it round in the wound. "Men have so little consideration," repeated Mrs. Hurst, "especially when a girl is concerned.
Bellingham, and, as there are certain substantial reasons for believing him to be dead, the principal beneficiary under his will, Mr. George Hurst, is now applying to the Court for permission to presume the death of the testator and prove the will.
Moreover, he would appear to have come down to Eltham by rail immediately on landing in England, leaving his luggage in the cloak-room at Charing Cross. This pointed to a definiteness of purpose quite inconsistent with his casual disappearance from the house.
