But her look of scorn, the night before, when he had shown some uneasiness on this score, had reassured him. He would leave things alone and let her make her own discoveries. So now she entered her future mother-in-law's room, with a haughty mien and no friendly feelings in her heart. She was well acquainted with the foreign examples of mother-in-law.
And the duke went with the abbess and her newly found husband and children into the convent, to hear this happy family discourse at leisure of the blessed ending of their adverse fortunes. Adriana had so well profited by the good counsel of her mother-in-law, that she never after cherished unjust suspicions, or was jealous of her husband.
"If you'd read that article I showed you in the magazine about the man that talked to his mother-in-law by the Ouija " "Mother-in-law? Great guns, is that the best the thing can do?" The reply was cut short by the entrance of the train gang, hot and hungry, clamoring for food. "How's Conejo?" "Sand-storm. Windy as a parson. Say, you fellows eat up all the pie?"

And whatever else he remembered or forgot, he was clear and positive about Joan's message to her daughter. She had broken her good father's life in two and her mother was sorry she had ever given her suck.
