When he inquires the cause of their coming, let the aga say, My lord, we are come to congratulate thy son-in- law, who is my beloved child, on his marriage with thy daughter, and to rejoice with him. The magistrate will be furiously enraged, and exclaim, Dog, is it possible that, being a leather- dresser, thou durst marry the daughter of the chief magistrate? Do thou then reply, My lord, my ambition was to be ennobled by your alliance, and as I have married your lordship's daughter, the mean appellation of leather-dresser will soon be forgotten and lost in the glorious title of the son-in-law of your lordship; I shall be promoted under your protection, and purified from the odour of the tan-pit, so that my offspring will smell as sweet as that of a syed."
Never did a married couple begin their new life with a fairer prospect than that which lay before George Jernam and his wife when they returned to River View Cottage. Captain Duncombe received his son-in- law with the hearty welcome of a true seaman; but a few days after George Jernam's return, the old sailor took him aside, and made an announcement which filled him with surprise.

Set at Darrell, and worry him; it is not fair to worry nobody but me!" "Dolly, don't bluster! If I could stand at his door, or stop him in the streets, with the girl in my hand, your advice would be judicious. The world would not care for a row between a rich man and a penniless son-in- law.
Once in the clutches of the demon of play, he would neglect his wife, and the mother might regain a portion of the ground she had lost. Micheline's fortune once broken into, she would interpose between her daughter and son-in- law. She would make him pull up, and holding him tightly by her purse strings, would lead him whither she liked.
This announcement, in spite of the urbanity with which it was delivered, set Dornell in a passion. 'Oh dammy, sir; you talk about rights, you do, after stealing her away, a mere child, against my will and knowledge! If we'd begged and prayed 'ee to take her, you could say no more. 'Upon my honour, your charge is quite baseless, sir, said his son-in- law.
I was happy to oblige your son-in- law." "You were wrong, and have acted unwisely in not acquainting me of the fact. It is thus that his follies have been encouraged by obliging friends. At all events, I ask you now not to lend him any more." Cayrol seemed put out, and, with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders up, replied: "This is a delicate matter which you ask of me.
Lift up the forks of my eyebrows which have fallen over my eyeballs, that I may see the fashion of my son-in- law." Then they arose, and, as they did so, Yspaddaden Penkawr took the third poisoned dart and cast it at them. And Kilhwch caught it and threw it vigorously, and wounded him through the eyeball, so that the dart came out at the back of his head. "A cursed ungentle son- in-law, truly!

The arrangements of his funeral Red Jacket committed to his wife's son-in- law Wm. Jones. His friends, who belonged mostly to the Christian party, chose to have at his funeral the simple and appropriate services of that religion.
