"On the whole," I remarked, "it seems to me that the residential side of the hotel is admirably suited to the nocturnal adjustment of small differences!" Louis smiled. "There has never been any trouble, sir," he said. "You see," he added, pointing to the clock, "it is now ten o'clock. In one hour monsieur should be there. I have ordered whiskey and soda to be put in the room."
Meyer, the owner, made an arrangement with Kellner & Co., whose premises at that time were in Bankshall Street, to build to their own plan a thoroughly up-to-date place which would embrace on an extensive scale all the necessary requirements for their very large and expanding business, including residential quarters for their senior partner.
Within the palace the emperor continually changed his residential quarters, probably not only from fear of assassination but also for astral reasons. His mausoleum formed a hemispherical dome, and all the stars of the sky were painted on its interior. 3 Frontier defence. Internal collapse
Being near London, it had not shared in the rural decay, and its long High Street had budded out right and left into residential estates. For about a mile a series of tiled and slated houses passed before Mrs. Munt's inattentive eyes, a series broken at one point by six Danish tumuli that stood shoulder to shoulder along the highroad, tombs of soldiers.
This residential settlement, Floral Heights, was on a rise; and though the center of the city was three miles away Zenith had between three and four hundred thousand inhabitants now he could see the top of the Second National Tower, an Indiana limestone building of thirty-five stories.

They have caused great distress among our border residents by not only building new residential dwellings right smack up against the border, but have blatantly crossed the border in ever increasing numbers and brazenly thumbed their ridiculously small noses at Sniffer citizens who were unfortunate enough to cross their paths.
His land lay in the very center of the expanding city, in the busiest part of the business section and in the best portion of the residential districts. Indeed, so rapidly did its value grow soon after he got it, that it was no longer necessary for him to practice law or in any wise crook to others. In 1819 he gave up law, and thenceforth gave his entire attention to managing his property.
The Van Houten reform of the franchise was very complicated, as there were six different categories of persons entitled to exercise the suffrage: payers of at least one guilder in direct taxation; householders or lodgers paying a certain minimum rent and having a residential qualification; proprietors or hirers of vessels of 24 tons at least; earners of a certain specified wage or salary; investors of 100 guilders in the public funds or of 50 guilders in a savings bank; persons holding certain educational diplomas.
