侄媳

这位老绅士有侄儿、侄媳及其子女作伴，日子过得倒也舒心。

In the society of his nephew and niece , and their children , the old Gentleman 's days were comfortably spent .

相形之下，侄媳母女多年关照的情分，倒变得无足轻重了。不过，老人也不想太苛刻，为了表示他对三个站娘的一片心意，好歹分给了每人一千镑。

He meant not to be unkind , however , and , as a mark of his affection for the three girls , he left them a thousand pounds a-piece .
