"He had himself advertised for sale as an expert farm overseer, was bought by a prosperous proprietor whose properties are situated in the southwestern part of Britain and there, near Ischalis, he has settled down to the management of a large estate; large at least for that part of the world.
Farming on a large scale was not usual, and the proprietor of land worked on the soil with his sons. The use of slaves was a later custom, when large estates arose. There was no yield for workers in iron, which shows that iron was a later introduction than copper.
Old Jack paid the twenty above me for a round, leaving me on the outside of his roll. He laid the roll on the table and sent for the proprietor. "Mike," says he, "here's money that the good people have refused. Will it buy of your wares in the name of the devil? They say it's tainted."
Let us lay aside the subsequent payments by which the product reaches the consumer, and, for the present, pay attention only to the first one of all, the rent paid to the proprietor by the tenant.

The king was not the god of the people; it were much more correct to designate him as the proprietor of the state.
The proprietor could only nod, for he dared not trust his voice. Fleeing to the kitchen he repeated the prodigious order to his wife. Then he circled by a back way and communicated the tidings to the "boys" around the stove.
He had never been known to have a falling out with any man in his life. Another fact was, that Mr. Wright was the only resident sugar proprietor in all that region of country. He superintends his own estate, while the other large estates are generally left in the hands of unprincipled, mercenary men. Thomas in the East.
