Doris Lee asked Grace Burrowes:

In 'The Duke's Disaster', M has been relying on his nephew for financial assistance despite that face that he had married an heiress and added her surname to his name so that he could inherit her fortune. Surely he hadn't spent it all already?

Grace Burrowes Gracious days! The heiress was DECADES ago! Alas, in the tradition of the intemperate Winters menfolk, M did indeed squander that money. You can see why Noah turned out as something less than a bon vivant with all that irresponsibility preceding him.
