You didn't trust her for a moment. She was pouring out tea. "Lemon? But how dreadfully stupid of me! I'd forgotten you take milk ... oh yes, and sugar...." She rang, and ordered sugar. Mothers take it; not the mothers of Rosalind's world, but mothers' meetings, and school treats, and mothers-in-law up from the seaside. "Are you up for shopping? How thrilling!
Mostly it confined its visitations to unwelcome guests. In the course of the last hundred years it had frightened away four successive mothers-in-law, while never intruding on the head of the household." "I guess that ghost had been one of the boys when he was alive and in the flesh." This was Dear Jones's contribution to the telling of the tale.
The time and agony which I didn't consume in laying siege to your heart I'll devote to the task of gaining your mother's good graces." The look I received in reply to this remark would have richly repaid me had my task been to conciliate as many mothers-in-law as Brigham Young possesses. But her smile faded as she said: "You don't know what a task you have before you.
Sons-in-law and daughters-in-law love their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law well enough and viceversa, and they all respect each other and can live peaceably together, but no one can impose his own will without determining a strike. They put into practice the same simple remedy when there is not very good harmony in the conjugal state. A man and woman cannot exactly agree as husband and wife?
There may be, as the Chinese proverb has it, thirty-six different kinds of mothers-in-law, but there is only one mother. Steingall, not Clancy, presented his bulk at Carshaw's apartment next morning. He contrived to have a few minutes' private talk with Mrs. Carshaw while her son was dressing.
I laid my hand on her arm, holding her a while, and we looked at each other through the dusk. "You couldn't do more if he were my son." "Oh if he had been your son he'd have kept out of it! I like him for himself. He's simple and sane and honest he needs affection." "He would have quite the most remarkable of mothers-in-law!" I commented. Mrs. Pallant gave a small dry laugh she wasn't joking.
Such people, when transplanted from what we call a half-barbarous state to live amongst us, never feel as we do, and when they are roused to action their deeds are not of the sort which our wives, our mothers-in-law and the clergy expect us to approve.
"What! without wives, or sisters, or mothers, or grandmothers, to say nothin' o' mothers-in-law, to cook our victuals an' look after our shirt-buttons?" said Isaac Martin, who, having been detained against his will, had become lugubriously, or recklessly, facetious, and was stimulated to a sort of fierce hilarity by his glass of rum.
There was nobody to bother them, no prospective fathers or mothers-in-law, no gossiping neighbors, nobody to say "Young man, how do you propose to support her" they got in love and they were married, and they started keeping house, and the Supreme Brahma said to them: "You must not leave this island." After awhile the man got uneasy wanted to go west.
That little Spanish-American word ravaging our coasts and carrying off the pride of the youth has to answer for many such bridal parties, whose tours have been followed with pins and colored pencils and eyes more eager than those of mothers-in-law.
