The Prince bent his brows upon her quizzically. "Florian! What should I know about Florian? He has not been near me since you left Rome. I fancy he will not be too attentive a son-in- law!

He then gave me some of the alarming symptoms of his patient, enlarged on the sympathy he felt for him, and finally proposed to go up and consult with his son-in law on the propriety of allowing me to see him in his present exceedingly nervous state.
Her constant gratitude and friendship for the Jernams suffered no diminution as time went on. The difference in their social position made no difference to her; and no more frequent or more welcome guests were seen at Raynham than Captain Duncombe, his daughter and son-in- law, and honest Joyce Harker.
The match had been on and off for some time, for John Dwyer was what is commonly called a "close-fisted fellow," and his would-be son-in- law could not bring him to what he considered proper terms, and though Matty liked young Casey, and he was fond of her, they both agreed not to let old Jack Dwyer have the best of the bargain in portioning off his daughter, who, having a spice of her father in her, was just as fond of number one as old Jack himself.

Woodward had always felt sufficiently confident that Alaric would push himself in the world, and she would have made no objection to him as a son-in- law had he been contented to take the second instead of the first of her flock.
Evil reports even reached M. le Duc de Berry, who on his part, wishing to enjoy the society of his wife in full liberty, was importuned by the continual presence near her, of her father. To ward off a quarrel between son-in- law and father-in-law, based upon so false and so odious a foundation, appeared to Madame de Saint-Simon and myself a pressing duty.
"Care the less for that," sneered the dwarf, "since you must be hot in summer and cold in winter." "It is not evening all day," cried the head groom. "Paaker never forgets an injury, and we shall live to see him pay Mena high as he is for the affront he has offered him.
