The Family Solicitor, 1880. 'Mr. Vellumson, however, chanced to meet the Duke travelling up to town in a railway-carriage soon afterwards, and they had some conversation which nobody heard, after which his Grace went on his way with a face quite livid. Then Widow Freshfield's furniture was saved, Mr. Vellumson merely remarking that "he had paid his father's debts, and he thought that the Duke should do likewise, or give up the title he had inherited, with the obligations belonging to it".' From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
