These gentlemen, I understand, entered upon the duties designated at the times respectively stated in the schedule, and have labored faithfully therein ever since. I therefore recommend that they be compensated at the same rate as chaplains in the Army. I further suggest that general provision be made for chaplains to serve at hospitals, as well as with regiments.
The first of these, which would be of but secondary consequence where the assembly had time enough for all its duties, is of the utmost weight in our overcharged House of Commons, where, notwithstanding all its energy and all its diligence, for one thing of consequence that is done, five or ten are despairingly postponed.
Over each province is placed a Governor, who is assisted in his duties by a Vice-Governor and a small council.
She often fell asleep while we were reading and talking, but usually she sent me away before midnight with "There's another day coming to-morrow."

Effie turned pale with indignation; but then, seeing that the woman meant kindly, she tried to smile. "I am very much obliged to you," she said, "but things aren't a bit the way you think." She then went off to perform her other duties.
"And then there are the boys and Margery. You have many duties to them, dear. They have no mother, and you are left to take her place, as far as you can, and make their lives happy, and teach them to be good. Oh, there is so much for you to do, child. I almost envy you, there is so much." Bella looked up with shining eyes and a flush on her cheeks.
In after times all other duties subsisting still between them, it was thought mean and dishonorable for the better sort to take money from their inferiors. And so much of these matters.
