Apart from lands and money and the management of affairs, public and private, there were many other interests of varied nature which all had their share of Washington's time and thought. He was a devoted husband, and gave to his stepchildren the most affectionate care.
Thomas Gisborne, a light of the sect, once tore her skirt from top to bottom at his house, Yoxall Lodge, saying 'Now, Mrs. Stephen, you must buy a new dress. She calmly stitched it together and appeared in it next day. She made her stepchildren read Butler's 'Analogy' before they were seven.
They who went before have not emptied the treasures of the Father's house, nor eaten all the bread that He spreads upon the table. God has no stepchildren, and no favourite and spoiled ones. All that the elder brethren have had, we, on whom the ends of the dispensation are come, may have just as really; and whatever God has been to the patriarch He is to us to-day.

If he saw the kind of stepchildren he was in for, it might choke him off," said the Terror. "But he can't even see we hate him," objected Erebus. "No, and if he did, he wouldn't mind, he'd think it a joke. My idea isn't to show him how we feel, but to show him what we can do, if we give our minds to it," said the Terror in a somewhat sinister tone. Erebus gazed at him, taking in his meaning.
There must be something in the character of the French nation that makes of every Jew, if not a son, yet the happiest and most faithful of stepchildren. And as one feels the past more strongly in Ravel, so, too, one finds him in certain respects even more revolutionary than Debussy.
Not very long after his first wife died he married again, and his second wife did not care for her stepchildren, and was often unkind to them; and the Rajah, their father, never troubled himself to look after them, but allowed his wife to treat them as she liked.
