At last he found himself stranded in the home of his daughters, Norine and Cecile, the only two who had heart enough to take him in. They rented a little closet for him, on the fifth floor of the house, over their own room, and they nursed him and bought him food and clothes with his pension-money, to which they added a good deal of their own.
Hawkins refused to obey the mandate, and soon after received notice to quit the farm he at that time rented. It happened that Mr. Tyrrel had interested himself strongly in behalf of the opposite candidate; and, as Mr.
"He asked, quite scornfully, in what sense I found them more fitting, and I answered rather warmly 'Why, sir, sitting together in chairs, we felt so much more at home. We were like one great family in our Father's house." "Are the chairs rented?" asked Rahal. "Rented!" cried Ragnor scornfully. "No, indeed! There are no dear chairs and no cheap chairs, all are equal and all are free.
It was a safe guess that he was master of his impulses. In his manner was a cold reticence entirely foreign to the Dave Sanders his friend had known and frolicked with. Bob felt in him a quality of dangerous strength as hard and cold as hammered iron. "Where's yore trunk? I'll take it right up to my shack," Hart said. "I've rented a room." "Well, you can onrent it. You're stayin' with me."
Three years ago she rented a part of his house for the summer, and stayed on to live with Bielokurov, apparently for ever. She was ten years older than he and managed him very strictly, so that he had to ask her permission to go out. She would often sob and make horrible noises like a man with a cold, and then I used to send and tell her that I'm if she did not stop I would go away.
Gilfoyle was too tired of doing nothing to get up, and she resolved to buy her breakfast ready-made outside. Her last glance at her husband with his frowsy hair on his frowsy pillow infuriated her. The experience at the big studio assuaged her wrath against life. It was something new, and there was a thrill in the concerted action of the crowds. She wore a rented ball-gown which did not fit her.

I had no idea how he had managed to get rid of taking the house after his protégé had gone to the trouble of hunting one up, nor did I care.
Across the alley was a cottage which a thrifty neighbour had built on the rear line of his lot and rented to negroes; and the fact that a negro family was now in process of "moving in" was manifested by the presence of a thin mule and a ramshackle wagon, the latter laden with the semblance of a stove and a few other unpretentious household articles. A very small darky boy stood near the mule.
I found a narrow room where workmen who had but one shirt rented a suit for the evening for twenty sous, police stationed at the door, and starving wretches staking a crust of bread against a pistol-shot.
"We are going to move to Riverside," said the dude, if such he may still be called, although he was a good business man. "I have rented a house there the old Martin place and if you ever come to the town you must visit us." "Thank you, I will," answered our hero. "My wife thinks a great deal of you and you must stop at the house during your stay at Riverside," went on Felix Gussing.
