"And yet Solon Talbot is my brother-in-law, the husband of my only sister."
"And Edgar is my own cousin. He's an awful snob, mother, and he looks as like his father as one pea looks like another."
"Then he is not very handsome. I wish I could see them. Did you invite them to call?"
"Yes."
"And what did Solon—Mr. Talbot—say?"
"He said he might call; but he was in a great hurry."
"Did you remember to give him our address?"
"Yes, mother; I said you would like to see him about grandfather's estate."
"I certainly would. It seems strange, very strange—that father should have left so little money."
"We only got seventy-five dollars out of it."
