By this time Mr. Talbot was at the door, and he was received by the Queen with, "So ho! Master Talbot, how is this? You, that have been vaunted to us as the very pink of fidelity, working up a tale that smacks mightily of treason and leasing!" "The truth is oft stranger than any playwright can devise," said Richard, as he knelt. "If it be truth, the worse for you, sir," said the Queen, hotly.
In fact, the Duke was reckoning that by putting a second mortgage on Dulham Towers for twenty thousand sterling, and by selling his Scotch shooting and leasing his Irish grazing and sub-letting his Welsh coal rent he could raise altogether a hundred thousand pounds. This for a duke, is an enormous sum.
This was successfully accomplished, the Indians leasing to the associated settlers all the lands on the Watauga waters for the space of eight years, in consideration of about six thousand dollars' worth of blankets, paint, muskets, and the like. The amount advanced was reimbursed to the men advancing it by the sale of the lands in small parcels to new settlers, for the time of the lease.
This distinction is not at first sight obvious to all, but it is fundamental. The ownership and leasing of the coal is one thing, the business or industry of mining it is quite another. State ownership of the former does not involve State ownership of the latter. That is elementary and fundamental. It lies at the root of what is to follow.
It was mine, therefore, in the fullest sense of the word; and, singular as it may seem, one of the grounds of accusation brought against me and my predecessors was that we had declined leasing it! Thus, on the one hand, we were abused for having leased our land, and, on the other, for not having leased it.
Friendly feeling is of course mainly based upon a negative fact, the fact that the United States has taken no part in "leasing" territories, establishing spheres and setting up extra-national post-offices. On the positive side stands the contribution made by Americans to education, especially medical, and that of girls and women, and to philanthropy and relief.
"I wasn't thinking of asking much," Keith went on coolly. "I only wanted to ask you not to worry about that leasing business." "Are you worrying about it, Mr. Cameron?" "That isn't the point. No, I can't say I expect to lose sleep over it. I hope you will dismiss anything I may have said from your mind." "But I don't understand. I feel that you blame Sir Redmond, when I'm sure he "
Spirits like Leasing and Goethe, all but derided patriotism. It scarcely held a place among the proper virtues. The small units were forever unsympathetic and inharmonious, jealous over a petty "balance of power" and always liable to war.
It was winter, and he was all in furs. I had nothing on to protect me against the cold. I told him one story after the other six of them. Then I got pleurisy, and had to be shipped to Florida for cure." The organization of the Edison Electric Light Company went back to 1878; but up to the time of leasing 65 Fifth Avenue it had not been engaged in actual business.
So that's what yuh can do if yuh want to but anyway, yuh want to get right after that leasing. It'll cost yuh something, but we're just plumb obliged to protect ourselves. See?" At that point he heard Flora laugh, and got up hastily, remembering the presence of the Pilgrim on the ranch. "I see, and I will think it over and take what precautionary measures are necessary and possible."
