"I mean, are you Muzzie's step-husband, too?" It was the first time she had seen the lightness leave his eyes. "No. No. I am your moth I am her husband. There is no step there." He got up and walked over to where his wife was sitting and towered over her. He was a tall man and he looked especially tall at that moment. "Her plain husband.
"Yes, sah," dropping another curtsey, "if Masser Mile please." "I do please, and think you have told him that often enough. If a man won't learn a thing in twenty lessons, he is not worth the trouble of teaching. So tell him he's a step-husband no more, but try something else. I hope he makes Chloe a good father?"
With this second, or, according to Venus's nomenclature, step-husband, she went to Europe, and there remained, dying only three years ago, an amply endowed widow. We kept up a civil sort of intercourse with her to the last, actually passing a few weeks with her, some fifteen years since, in a house, half-barn, half-castle, that she called a palace, on one of the unrivalled lakes of Italy.
"Yes, sah, he dat, no one can deny. Ah! Masser Mile, em 'ere step-husband, after all, nebber jest like a body own husband! Cupid berry honest, and berry sober; but he only step-husband; and dat I tell him twenty time already, I do t'ink, if trut' was said." "Perhaps you have now said it often enough twenty times are quite sufficient to tell a man such a fact."
Neb will make no step-husband, I can promise you." "Don't be in a hurry, Masser Mile," said Dido, with an eagerness that showed this ready consent was anything but what she wanted. "Dere many 'jection to Neb, when he ask to marry a young gal in Chloe sitiation. You know, sah, Chloe now Miss Grace's own waitin'-maid.
Almost stepping on Yassuh in his eagerness, he jumped upon the box, and, arranging his hands as before, shouted loudly, "Pirlaps, this is Sara, a little girl! Sara, this is Pirlaps, Avrillia's step-husband!" Then he sprang down and went running down the path again, shouting excitedly, "See you again, Sara! See you again!"
"Go tell your master it's time for him to change his trousers and shave." When Yassuh was gone she turned to Sara again rather as one entertains a visitor when one really wants to be doing something else and said, politely, "I suppose you know he's my step-husband. That makes it rather troublesome."
Venus saw several repetitions of her own charms in the offspring of Neb and Chloe, though she pertinaciously insisted to the last, that Cupid, as a step-husband, had no legitimate connection with any of the glistening, thick-lipped, chubby set. But, even closer family ties than those which bound my slaves to me, are broken by the pressure of human institutions.
She knew this was a personal question, but she felt, somehow, that Pirlaps would not think her impolite. He looked down at her and smiled, just as her own father did when she asked questions which showed her youth and inexperience. "I'm not a step-man, Sara," he said, his eyes twinkling with amusement at her lack of information, "only a step-husband.
