I know it is just a short story, but Facts are facts. At this level of fortune, Georgiana's dowry has been sitting at the bank in the 4% since her birth if not before. Meaning, when she marries, Mr D's fortune will remain what it is, the money will not come from PBL, it was probably her mother’s before hers....

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
