"Looks to me like the original Gloom," he observed. "What's his grouch?" "Conscience." "He must have a bum one!" "He has a busy one. He expends a great amount of time and sorrow repenting of our sins." "Whose sins?" asked the other, opening wider his dull and weary eyes. "Ours. His neighbors. Everybody in Our Square."
Land tenure is of the first importance in colonial prosperity, and consideration of the land revenue and the limitations as to its expenditure led me to the necessity for taxation and the various modes of levying it. Taxation led me to the power which imposes, collects, and expends it.

He expends a wealth of vituperative Latin which makes us tremble, till we remember that it is put in motion to crush an insect. Morus met it by a supplementary Fides Publica, and Milton, resolved to have the last word, met him by a Supplement to the Defence. The reader will be glad to hear that this is the end of the Morus controversy.
These are interspersed with a number of philoprogenitive letters to Lady Clarke, her Ladyship's sister, in which, being childless herself, she expends all her bottled-up maternity on her nephews and nieces. The little pieces of autobiography scattered here and there are painfully vivacious. The poor old lady smirks and capers and ogles, until one becomes sick of this sexagenarian agility.
You may be sure, however, that his talk on the platform will not be forgotten, and should anything happen, in any way like the McKinley affair, for instance, I am sure things would be made very unpleasant for him. So I hope nothing will happen. "Terry is really harmless. He expends all of his energy in desiring and thinking and talking, and has nothing left over for action.
