An old friend of Basil's father, John Horner allows Basil to earn his family's money back by working at his bank. Aristocrats typically didn't work in finance, so Horner promises to keep Basil's job hush-hush. (Basil takes the job because it's the fastest way for him to reestablish the family fortune - military service and posts in the House of Lords were more typical aristocrat jobs, but they weren't really designed for people actively trying to make money, if you know what I mean.)
