"And so," continued Mr. Rogers, "you took your brother-in-law's boat without his knowledge " Vashti nodded. "Yes, sir; I took it unbeknowns. He's a very quiet man, is my sister's husband, and don't like it that other folks, 'specially women, should mix themselves up in his affairs." "Then he's a sensible fellow as well as a quiet one." "Yes, sir."
"I don't suppose that cost Truscomb ten dollars," he said to himself, as the lift lowered him to the factory door; but another voice argued that he had no right to accuse Disbrow of acting as his brother-in-law's agent, when the gift to Mrs. Dillon might have been prompted by his own kindness of heart. "And what prompted the lie about her husband?
"All right don't wish to intrude, don't you know. Fine girl though quite the finest thing I've seen could go anywhere." His brother-in-law's face flushed fiery red. "Now look here, Tom," he said angrily, "don't be an ass. Of course I know what you mean but as the boys say here, 'Nothing doing!" "What? You mean it? Nothing doing?
Clay during that time lived alone, and was very content to receive her future brother-in-law's subsidy, without troubling about the work which would not come in. Autumn had always been a peaceful and bounteous season at Wanley; then the fruit trees bent beneath their golden charge, and the air seemed rich with sweet odours.
He had completed on that day the first instalment of three thousand words much to the amusement of Jim, and to the open derision of Mr. Higginbotham, who sneered throughout meal-time at the "litery" person they had discovered in the family. Martin contented himself by picturing his brother-in-law's surprise on Sunday morning when he opened his Examiner and saw the article on the treasure-hunters.
For the first time since they had met Isaacson, remembering the death of Lord Harwich, wondered at her costume. "Ah," she said, "you've heard, of course!" He was startled by her sudden comprehension of his thought. "Heard! what, Mrs. Armine?" "About my brother-in-law's sudden death." "I saw it in the paper." "Well, I don't happen to have any thin mourning with me." Her voice had changed again.
Thirza Pierson, seeing her brother-in-law's handwriting, naturally said: "Here's a letter from Ted." Bob Pierson, with a mouth full of sausage, as naturally responded: "What does he say?" In reading on, she found that to answer that question was one of the most difficult tasks ever set her. Its news moved and disturbed her deeply. Under her wing this disaster had happened!
A gold watch and chain, which had made a serious hole in his brother-in-law's Savings Bank account, lent an air of substance to his waistcoat, and a pin of excellent paste sparkled in his neck-tie. Under the influence of good food and home comforts he improved every day, and the unfortunate Mr. Spriggs was at his wits' end to resist further encroachments.
And it was on account of her brother-in-law's part in the suppressed event that she now forbore to call him behind his back what she had not hesitated to call him before his face that is, failed to show that she fully shared her lover's indignation at the MESALLIANCE, and the scandalous way that it had been brought about. "But, good heavens!"
"My dear cousin Betty, there are lunatics endowed with a marvellous shrewdness to commit senseless villanies, and to put on a specious seeming. Depend upon it, my unfortunate brother-in-law's wanderings at night were not solely spent in communings with the trees and brooks. Who knows what might be discovered if he were under proper restraint?
