"Sir," said the Doctor, "it is my opinion and that of my sister-in- law, an excellent, discreet, and devout woman, that the poor child would give you more cause for hope if the belief had not become fixed in his mind that he is really and truly a fairy elf yes, in very sooth a changeling!"
Among the same company that had been assembled when the Duke of Albany had been married not two years before, were his father-in-law and sister-in- law, the Prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont, and the Queen of Holland.
The last words had escaped Barbara's lips against her will; for until then she had prudently feigned not to suspect that everything between Maria and her husband was not exactly as it ought to be, though she plainly perceived what was passing in the mind of her young sister-in- law.
And if you flatter yourself that I don't perceive it, you are a fool; and if you think I can be consoled by sweet words, you are an idiot: and if you fancy I'll suffer unrevenged, I'll convince you of the contrary, in a very little while! Meantime, thank you for telling me your sister-in- law's secret: I swear I'll make the most of it. And stand you aside!
Cambyses showed no curiosity as to the contents of the box, gave it in charge to a eunuch, said a few words which seemed meant as thanks to his sister-in law, and left the women's apartments without even so much as enquiring after Atossa, whose existence he seemed to have forgotten.
It's bad enough for him, but it's simple suicide for you!" "Well, I wanted you to hear it from me," Rachael submitted mildly. "Do you mean to say you've decided, seriously, to do it?"

"What will you do?" asked Aunt Abby.
Of Undy's wife Alaric saw nothing and heard little, but it suited Undy to make use of his sister-in- law's house, and it suited Alaric to be intimate with Undy's sister-in-law. Moreover, had not Clementina Golightly L20,000, and was she not a 'doosed fine girl? This was nothing to Alaric now, and might not be considered to be much to Undy.
"I am not such a child!" exclaimed Aline, rising with a vexed air; "I know what I have seen. They were talking a long time together in the drawing-room last evening, and I am sure they were speaking of me." Madame de Bergenheim burst into laughter, which increased her sister-in- law's vexation, for she was less and less disposed to be treated like a young girl.
Well, and she may learn the same or something sufficiently like it, if she 's caught in time, called to her face, Countess of Ormont, sister-in- law, and smoothed, petted, made believe she 's now understood and won't be questioned on a single particular in fact, she marches back in a sort of triumph; and all the past in a cupboard, locked up, without further inquiry.
