"Henry," said his father-in-law, as he called his daughter's spouse into the library and locked the door, "you have lived with me now for over two years."

"No, sir." (Wonderingly.)
"In all your little family quarrels I have always taken your part."
"Always, sir."
"I have even paid some of your bills."
"A good many, father."
