"Has she any children." "Yes seven and a half." "That is impossible." "No, she has them. She told me herself." "Well, but seven and a HALF? How do you make out the half? Where does the half come in?" "There is a child which she had by another husband not this one but another one so it is a stepchild, and they do not count in full measure." "Another husband? Has she another husband?" "Yes, four.
But I'm just sayin' what we both know's a fact. He didn't want to see us; he didn't want to see nobody. Since his wife died he lived alone in that house, except for a housekeeper and that stepchild, and never went anywhere or had anybody come to see him if he could help it. A reg'lar hermit that's what he was, a hermit, like Peleg Myrick down to Setuckit P'int.
"I never saw such a beautiful swimmer as Miss Gemmell," said the mannish voice, and Belle replied impressively: "I believe you are not aware, Mr. Flaker, that the young lady you call Miss Gemmell is not my own daughter." "Your stepchild is she, or your husband's niece?" "Neither. She is no relation at all just a poor girl whom I have taken up to educate. She can barely read or write.

Far was it from Mary to wish her friend to brood or repine; but to have ceased to remember as utterly as Agnes had done had something callous about it; and, in her own heart, Mary devoted a fresh regret to the memory of the poor little stepchild of fate.
On her part, Isaura was moved not only by the beauty of Julie's countenance, but still more by the childlike ingenuousness of its expression. So, for the first time in their lives, met the child and the stepchild of Louise Duval. Each so deserted, each so left alone and inexperienced amid the perils of the world, with fates so different, typifying orders of womanhood so opposed.
I'm willing to do for you what I did for your poor mother, and I can't say more than that, can I?" I must have made some kind of response, for Aunt Bridget went on to say it might be a sacrifice, but then she wouldn't be sorry to leave the Big House either. "I'm twenty years there, and now I'm to be a servant to my own stepchild. Dear heart knows if I can bear it much longer.
Apathetic, anemic, overworked, she yet never dreamed of considering herself or her children abused, accepting her lot as the natural one of woman, who was created to be a child-bearer, and to keep man well fed and comfortable. The only variation from the deadly monotony of her mechanical and unceasing labor was found in her habit of irritability with her stepchild.

When Bud Molloy lay dyin' he says to the brakeman, 'You tell my wife to be good to Nance," "So she's your stepchild?" "Yes, sir, an' Bud Molloy was as clever a man as ever trod shoe-leather.
