But if he had taken little comfort in his wife he had taken much in his two younger children, who were after his own heart, while Madame de Bellegarde had paired with her eldest-born. "My brother has spoken to me of you," said M. de Bellegarde; "and as you are also acquainted with my sister, it was time we should meet."
I figure the Jew as the eldest-born of Time, touching the Creation and reaching forward into the future, the true blasé of the Universe; the Wandering Jew who has been everywhere, seen everything, done everything, led everything, thought everything and suffered everything." "Bravo, quite a bit of Beaconsfieldian fustian," said Sidney laughing, yet astonished.
"When Majie comes," he said one of those days, "he must not go again." "Why, Markie?" asked his mother, almost without a meaning, for her thought was with her eldest-born, her disgrace. "Because, if he does," he answered, "I shall not see much of him." The mother looked at the child, but said nothing. Sorrow was now the element of her soul.

Left alone, Annie went upstairs, listened a moment outside the door of her eldest-born, then went on to the tiny room over the porch that was Ishmael's.

Courtenay went to him, and said "Hold your tongue, miserable man! See your own work, for you have caused this death. It was to fetch your son, to help you to steal the horses, that you crossed the river in the dug-out. Be silent, I say; you know me; look at your eldest-born, villain that you are! May the chain of your future misery be long, and the last link of it the gibbet, which you deserve!"
