Hurst social standing Written by JanetR (4/13/2010 3:09 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mr Hurst, penned by Andrea Gayle

The word "fashion" here means that he belonged to fashionable society, not that he dressed well (he probably did tho'). Given his standing in society it's unlikely he came from roots recently in trade.

Louisa's fortune would have suited his needs and his social standing would have suited her desire to elevate herself.
