For them he had rejoiced as much as for himself in the blessing of fortune.
Now that the excitement of change had had time to subside, Richard found himself realising the fact that capital creates cares as well as removes them, and just now the centre of his anxieties lay in the house at Highbury to which his family had removed from Wilton Square.
He believed that as yet both the Princess and ’Arry were ignorant of the true state of affairs.
