Dower and curtesy do not prevail; if husband or wife dies intestate, survivor takes one half of the estate, if there is only one child living or the lawful issue of one child; if there are more, survivor gets one third. If husband is unable to support family, wife must maintain him and the children. Husband is guardian of children.
After a little, he looked at his daughter sorrowfully. "I should dearly love to take you up to the castle with me, Clementina," said he, "and let you live there always, and make you and the little child my heirs. But how can I? You are disinherited, you know?" "I don't see any way," assented Dame Clementina, sadly. Dame Elizabeth was still there, and she spoke up to the count with a curtesy.
We must renew our childhood's training, dear Mary make our bow and curtesy, and say "Thank you for our good dinner." 'Thank Felix for our pleasant day, said Mr. Audley. 'Come, boys, have a swing! there's a branch too good not to be used; and Ful has already hung himself up like a two-toed sloth.
Lætitia? 'Should you not like to be a mother of such diverting little pratlers? 'It is time enough, sir, replied she modestly, 'for me to think of any such thing. 'If you get a good husband, resumed he, 'it cannot be too soon': 'Nor, if a bad one, too late, cried she, 'as there are great odds on that side. 'That is true, said he, 'but I believe there are many ill husbands, who owe their being such, to the ill conduct of their wives': 'now I fancy, continued he, 'whoever is so happy as to have you, will have no such excuse; for I firmly believe you have in you all the requisites to make the marriage state agreeable. To this she only made a curtesy, and thanked him for his good opinion: 'I do assure you, resumed he, 'it is so sincere, that I should be glad to prove it, by making you my wife.
She spoke right up before Squire Bean. "I'd rather you'd give it to some one else," said she with a curtesy. "It doesn't belong to me. I wouldn't have gone to the head if I hadn't cheated." Patience's cheeks were white, but her eyes flashed. Squire Bean gasped, and turned it into a cough. Then he began asking her questions. Patience answered unflinchingly. She kept holding the sixpence toward him.
HUSBAND AND WIFE: Wife controls own earnings, but cannot sell or encumber her separate property without husband's consent. Husband is legal guardian and must provide. Dower and curtesy prevail.
No answer from anybody. "It is such a pretty dance," she panted again, after a few more gyrations. No answer. "And is all the rage at home." No answer. "Do let me teach you. Won't you try, Herr Sage?" She went up to him and dropped him a little curtesy. It is thus she always addresses him, entirely oblivious to the fact, so patent to every one else, that he resents it.
No dower or curtesy. If either husband or wife die intestate, the survivor, if there is issue living, is entitled to the homestead for life and one third of the rest of the estate in fee simple. If there are no descendants, the entire estate goes absolutely to the survivor. Husband is guardian of children and must support family.
"Is it so very clumsily dressed, sir?" "No, no," said I hastily, "indeed I was thinking " "Well, Peter?" "That it was very beautiful!" "Why, you told me that last night come, what do you think of it this morning?" "With those leaves in it it is even more so!" Charmian laughed, and, rising, swept me a stately curtesy. "After all, sir, we find there be exceptions to every rule!" "You mean?"
At this moment the pretty maid appeared, and tendered him the bill with a curtesy. He glanced at it, tossed some money upon the table, and turned to stare at me again. "If ever I meet you again " he began. "You'd probably know me," I put in.
