Ethelberta, with a rather fallen countenance, then left her mother-in- law, and went where all ladies are supposed to go when they want to torment their minds in comfort to her own room. Here she thoughtfully sat down awhile, and some time later she rang for her maid.
As the four gentlemen drained their glasses, the four ladies applauded the eloquent Jeff. "You must write that out for Corky, Jefferson," cried his mother-in- law. "He may have an opportunity to spring it " "Ahem!" barked Corky, quite viciously. "I am sure we shall all love one another and be happy to the end of our days," cried Mrs.
On this particular evening they came to me bringing with them all the fragrance of the days that are no more. The first play I ever saw dealt with the subject of the mother-in- law the "Problem" I think it was called in those days. The occasion was an amateur performance given in aid of the local Ragged School.
Hall entered it just in advance of her, having in the interim retired with her mother-in- law to take off her bonnet, and otherwise make herself presentable. Hence it was evident that no further communication could have passed between her and Mr. Darton since their brief interview in the stable. Mr.
Milton's brothers and sisters were in the group can hardly be guessed; the two boys Phillips, and one knows not how many other pupils, fill up the interstices between the larger people in front; and one sees Christopher Milton, his wife Thomasine, their children, and perhaps the Widow Webber, as visitors in the background. Of the whole company, I should say, the mother-in law, Mrs.
I was her maid once, or rather her mother-in- law's, but that was long before you knew her. I did not by any means find her so lovable as you seem to think her when I had to do with her at close quarters. An awful flirt awful. Don't you find her so? 'I don't know. 'If you don't yet you will know.
The first time I met Gertrude I could have sworn my boyhood's love was restored to me; she is so entirely the image of what Agnes was. To possess themselves of my home and property is all that brought them here; and whether as my wife or as my mother-in- law I think Agnes cares little. The first she sees is impracticable, and now to make me wed Gertrude is her aim. Like mother, like daughter!"
They were only guessing at it then, of course, but if my dear old mother-in- law don't guard my grave, they will know after I am dead, sure enough, for I have heard them say so. For ten or fifteen years during my early life, the sporting men of the South tried to find a man to whip me, but they couldn't do it, and finally gave it up as a bad job.
Serge did not know what an adversary he had against him in his mother-in- law. It was a bad thing to cross the mistress when business matters were concerned, but now that her daughter's happiness was at stake! A smile came to her lips. A firm resolution from that hour must guide her, and the struggle between her son-in-law and herself could only end by the crushing of one of them.
He said it was evident I was not married, for that if I had been I should have seen at once that she was not only a woman but a mother-in-law of the first magnitude, or, as he called it, "una suocera tremenda," and this without knowing that I wanted her to be a mother-in- law myself. Unfortunately she had no real drapery, so I could not settle the question as my friend Mr.
