And now to bed what say you? with what appetite we may!" With what appetite, indeed! We separated. I rushed homeward, the moment he was out of sight once more stood before my own dwelling. There the lights remained unextinguished and William Edgerton was still a tenant of my parlor! I had not the courage to enter my own dwelling! My heart sank within me.
The surplus it would take to itself in the form of rent, and while it is desirable to give the State tenant full security against disturbance, rents must at stated periods be adjustable to prices and to cost.
However, he could not pay the rent, and the landlord found another tenant. "You must quit," said he to the Miller. "That I won't," said the Miller, "not for fifty new tenants." So the landlord sent for the constables, and he was carried out, which is not a dignified way of changing one's residence. But then it is not easy to be obstinate and dignified at the same time.
There are two pages in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall that anticipate and sum up his now innocent arguments. Anne fairly let herself go here. None shall sink to everlasting woe Who have not well deserved the wrath of Heaven, she presently relents, and tacks on a poem in a lighter measure, expressing her hope
The net indebtedness of the black tenant families of the whole county must have been at least sixty thousand dollars.

Being fully satisfied that I was greatly benefiting his estate, the parson not only gave his consent to any alteration that I thought proper in the course of husbandry, which the old tenant was bound in his lease to pursue, but he took all occasions to encourage me to do so; and, as my proceedings were so extremely beneficial to his farm, which he never failed to acknowledge, I did not once dream that he would hereafter, for the sake of litigation, pretend to object to it.
"Well, sir," answered the old man slowly, "I never heard nothin'; but then, you see, I never asked no questions. We came here eight years agone, and then no one round remembered a tenant at the big house.
Now by putting a house on rockers, this trouble and exertion of the individual on a scale so small and unworthy of a great people would be spared, and every tenant of a brick building would be rocked at the same time, and by one common piece of machinery. The effect of a whole city nid-nid-nodding after dinner, will be extremely magnificent and worthy of America.
