unfair TO suggest that the earl was mar

of his own denial, but there seemed TO
be great deal of money talk being

March represented a lawyer for the earl
as appealing TO Mrs Thaw TO let her
daughter have a bigger allowance than

plea failed it was said that the engage

that Mrs. Thaw had settled on her
daughter a sum that would make her
income 100000 a year
Mrs. ThaW later issued a statement say
ing that all the talk about money was
untrue, that her daughter had a certain
