Left homeless and practically penniless, it would ensure security and happiness for her and her younger sister, Hilary. But hearing the rumour that he was only proposing out of charity, she firmly refused him. Taking Hilary, she swept off to take up a teaching post in Brussels, despite the political disturbances on the Continent.
