These were the golden years of Rondelet's life; but trouble was coming on him, and a stormy sunset after a brilliant day. He lost his sister-in- law, to whom he owed all his fortunes, and who had watched ever since over him and his wife like a mother; then he lost his wife herself under most painful circumstances; then his best-beloved daughter.
The next morning, when Aline entered her sister-in law's room, according to her usual custom, the latter was not obliged to feign the indisposition she had planned; the sensations of this sleepless night had paled her cheeks and altered her features; it would have been difficult to imagine a more complete contrast than that between these two young women at this moment.
Cambyses showed no curiosity as to the contents of the box, gave it in charge to a eunuch, said a few words which seemed meant as thanks to his sister-in law, and left the women's apartments without even so much as enquiring after Atossa, whose existence he seemed to have forgotten.
His wife, too, Kitty Blount, as she had been what had Kitty Blount been but a high-coloured, bouncing romp of a girl when they had all been paddling together at Broadstairs? Extraordinary! And now here was one of his girls sister-in- law of a county baronet none of your city knights, mind you and the other, with the lift of a princess and the clear sight which is hers by title.

It may have been for a caprice, or to quicken some hideous sense of power that was in him, or because she suspected something, or for no reason.
"But the dear girl is RADIANT every time she looks at him, and both Dad and I think we notice a new PROTECTIVE quality in Jim " "Did Robert say so?" Miss Toland asked dryly. To this Mrs. Toland answered with a merry laugh and a little squeeze of her sister-in- law's arm. "Oh, you old Sanna!" she chided.
I'm only taking a little liberty with one I may call my future sister-in- law." "Shall I come out with you?" said Annette, in sheer lassitude assisting Mary Fellingham in her scheme to show the distastefulness of this lady and her brother. "Not if you don't wish to." "I have no objection." "Another time will do." "Will you write?" "By post indeed!" Mrs.
Raymond, feeling that he ought to cultivate the solitary sister-in- law, began asking about Miles; but unlike the typical colonist, she was very silent, and her replies were monosyllabic, till Rosamond created a diversion by talking to Frank; and then Raymond elicited that Glen Fraser was far up the country King Williamstown nearer than any other town.
Comte Jean instantly led him into another room, and when they were alone, Lebel said to him, "Do you know that your sister-in- law is a most fascinating creature? She has occupied my thoughts since I have known her, and in my enthusiasm I could not help speaking of her in a certain quarter.
