this man by former wife, become also in
love, not with younger person, but with
the mother of the fathers new wife, a widow
lady still in the bloom Of life He offered

widow were united in the bands Of malrmo-
ny, so that in consequence Of these two con-
neAions. father becomes the son.in-law of
his own son. and wife not only the daughi-
er.in.law Of her own son.in-law, but sill
more. the mo,her-in.aw OF her own mother.

own daughter, while the husband OF the lat
