Stanbury, Hugh

A brilliant but impecunious young Oxonian, who deserted the law for journalism and thus incurred the anger of his Aunt Stanbury, who had paid for his education.He was a classmate of Louis Trevelyan and became involved with his friend’s affairs, helping the young wife and her sister to find a temporary home with his own mother. Although he had a formidable rival for Nora Rowley’s hand in Charles Glascock, he won her.
