He was wornand weary; his business interest languished, and his friends, remonstrating in vain, regarded it as the culminating injury to his lifeand prospects already wrought by the influence of this woman. Indeed, one of the chief difficulties of the continuance of theenterprise was the resistance they must needs maintain to theremonstrance of friends. This finally came to be so urgent that it eveninvolved an effort to circumscribe the futile activities. In view of theprovisions of Mr. Royston...'s will no portion of the minor's estate couldbe used to defray the extremely lavish expenses that the thoroughness andextent of the search involved. All the large disbursements of money camefrom Mrs. Royston's own share of her husband's fortune. This brought heruncle, Mr. Marable, into the discussion. Her resources would not sustainthese heavy draughts, he urged. In case the child remained perdu, to besure, and the legal presumption of his death obtain by reason of thelapse of time, his estate would by the terms of the will vest in her, andthus financially all might be well.
