What piecing and patching of interests, what libels on opposing candidates, what exultation in the successful, what discontent in the defeated camp! The successful candidate for the southern half-kingdom after Dermid's death was Thorlogh, grandson of Brian, and foster-son of the late ruler. In his reign, which lasted thirty-three years, the political fortunes of his house revived.
Robert chuckled and said: "I thought thou wouldst take the fly in thy mouth, foster-son: if the felon escape Ralph Longshanks and Anthony Green, then hath he the devil's luck; and they be after him." "That is well," said the young man, "though I would I were with them." And therewith he walked up and down impatiently, while the others were getting ready the litter of boughs.
Nor was Nurse Jamieson, her menial situation, and her excessive partiality for her foster-son, considered, altogether such a matron as could afford her protection.
Watching the chief, who stood by the steering oar, erect as the mast, his eyes piercing the distance ahead, Sigurd put an idle question. "Can you tell anything yet concerning the drift-ice, foster-father? And why do you steer the ship so close to the wind?" Without turning his head, Leif answered shortly, "I am attending to my steering, foster-son."
And Teirnyon's wife agreed with him, that they should send the boy to Pwyll. "And three things, lord," said she, "shall we gain thereby. Thanks and gifts for releasing Rhiannon from her punishment; and thanks from Pwyll for nursing his son and restoring him unto him; and thirdly, if the boy is of gentle nature, he will be our foster-son, and he will do for us all the good in his power."
"You are the best-natured, kindest creature in the world, Deborah. But you have never seen the ring I bought for you at Paris. Nay, I will put it on your finger myself; what! your foster-son, whom you loved so well, and took such care of?" He easily succeeded in putting a pretty ring of gold, with a humorous affectation of gallantry, on the fat finger of Mistress Deborah Debbitch.
Shashai welcomed her with his clear nicker, sweeping up to the gate in his long, rocking stride so like the Empress'. Tzaritza with her foster-son followed in Peggy's wake, Tzaritza sniffing inquiringly at the saddle, Roy pranking thither and yonder, rich just in the joy of being alive.
They thought it would be to their advantage to bring up a peasant's child, besides which they expected to be cheered in their old age by their foster-son. But the child did not live to grow up with them. Before the year was out it was dead. It was said by many that it was the fault of the foster-parents, for the child had been unusually strong before it came to them.
The business victories of Jefferson Worth he could accept without feeling; but that this man a stranger should come between him and his foster-son, the child of the woman he had loved with lifelong fidelity, stirred him to a vicious, personal hatred. At dusk that evening he saw Holmes and Worth dining together.
For two years she had hoped that Wolf would complete her letter in his own person, and tell her son how her voice and her beauty had won his father's heart. Quijada had known it; but if he spoke of her to his wife and foster-son, it was scarcely in her favour he cared little for music and singing. So the loss of this letter seemed to her, with reason, a severe misfortune.
