She was of course distressed to hear of the strait in which we had left her brother-in- law, the count, but was quite decided in her opinion that he had done right to send Francesca away to her, and believed that, once freed of anxiety respecting his daughter, it would be found that he had been able to defend himself so vigorously as to eventually beat off his assailants.
Pennycook, Dan, an' tell her that I've kept my word, even if she didn't keep hers. That worthless convict brother-in- law o' yours is dead, Dan. You can quit worryin'. He'll never blackmail you again. He's as dead as a mackerel an' I seen him buried. Dan, old friend, adios."
My half-brother, Solivet, had repaired to M. de Turenne's army, which was fighting for the King, and my brother-in- law, d'Aubepine, was on the staff of the Prince.
My informant was in a position to be definite about this dangler; she knew about his people; she had heard of him before. Hadn't he been a friend of one of her nephews at Oxford?

The enemy are designated as Galaton ethnos . It is brought into prominence that Annius in order to spare the provincials omitted to call out their contingents and repelled the barbarians with the Roman troops alone.
Soon after Els went down into the entry to meet her lover's brother-in- law. He had refused to enter the empty sitting-room. The Countess von Montfort's unfriendly dismissal had vexed him sorely, yet it made no lasting impression. Other events had forced into the background the bitter attack of Cordula, for whom he had never felt any genuine regard.
Such certainly was Mr Fletcher's courage. A sense of duty and the fear of God upheld him against all fear of man." "True, auntie," acquiesced her nephew; "and so it was with Amos." "Yes, just so, Walter.
