"So it's financialinformation you really want?"
"Yes," said Elvira. "I've got some money, I know. Is it a lot?"
Egerton was serious now.
"Yes," he said. "You've got a lot of money. Your father was a veryrich man. You were his only child. When he died, the title and the estate went to acousin. He didn't like the cousin, so he left all his personalproperty, which was considerable, to his daughter – to you,Elvira. You're a very rich woman, or will be, when you aretwenty-one."
"You mean I am not rich now?"
"Yes," said Egerton, "you're rich now, but the money is not yours todispose of until you are twenty-one or marry. Until that time it is in the hands of yourTrustees. Luscombe, myself and another." He smiled at her. "We haven't embezzled it or anything like that. It's still there. In fact, we've increased yourcapital considerably by investments."
