The Badgers, it appeared, were in camp not far from Gravelines, whence the Emperor was watching the conference between his uncle-in-law and his chief enemy; and thence Fulford, who had a good many French acquaintance, having once served under Francis the First, had come over to see the sport.
She was my father's sister." "Then YOU," I said, "are the relation who was 'too high and mighty'!" Polly shook her head. "No," she said, "I didn't want to be dependent." "And you gave up all that," I exclaimed, "and worked at Hatchardson's, just because you didn't want to be dependent!" "I like my uncle-in-law very much," explained Polly, "but not my aunt. So, it was no temptation.
Make yourself his father-in-law, and me his uncle-in-law; and, since we can't kill the wasp, we may at least soften the venom of his sting." Beaufort, still perplexed, irresolute, sought his son; and, for the first time, spoke to him frankly that is, frankly for Robert Beaufort!

"It happens to be the property of Miss Van Buren, a young American lady, for whom I'm acting as skipper," returned Alb. "Rot," was the terse comment of my uncle-in-law. Alb bit his lip, and his eyes were growing dangerous. I had seen that look on his face once or twice.
"But say, Cooper," said Spike, "were you in earnest about liking the summer school scheme and wanting to be a landscape artist?" "I surely was, were, and am," replied Cooper, as the boys slipped into their places.

The Earl was an easy-going and good-natured cuss, without the narrow prejudices of his snobbish friends, and readily promised not to tell anybody about it.
