Clarissa asked timidly, anticipating a rebuff. "No; that is the most confounded part of the business. My liabilities only amount to a few pitiful hundreds. When I sold Arden and I did not do that till I was obliged, you may believe the bulk of the purchase-money went to the mortgagees.
Finally, if a master smote out his servant's tooth, the law smote out his tooth thus redressing the public wrong; and it cancelled the servant's obligation to the master, thus giving some compensation for the injury done, and exempting him from perilous liabilities in future.
At the same time, notwithstanding these general professions of benevolence towards the nobles, he represented them as broken spendthrifts, wishing to create general confusion in order to escape from personal liabilities; as conspirators who had placed themselves within the reach of the attorney-general; as ambitious malcontents who were disposed to overthrow the royal authority, and to substitute an aristocratic republic upon its ruins.
He had shown no misgivings, but, no sooner was he removed from the helm, than the vessel was found on the brink of destruction. Enormous sums had been sunk without tangible return, and the liabilities of the companies far surpassed anything that they had realized. Lord Ormersfield was stunned and helpless. Mrs. Dynevor had but one idea namely, to sacrifice everything to clear her husband's name.

At Charing Cross Station Montague Nevitt bought a Financial News and proceeded forthwith to his own rooms to read of the sudden collapse of his pet speculation. It was only too true.

Heavens, what a lot of liabilities you had to off-set!" He stopped and looked down at her. "Audrey dear," he said, "what am I to say to all that? What can I do? How can I help?" "You might tell me No, that's silly." "What is silly?" But she did not answer. She called "Joey!" and gave him her clubs. "Joey wants to be a soldier," she observed. "So he says."

Some men, who are good fellows enough at bottom and even capable of inspiring genuine attachment in particular cases, never become generally popular. When Mr. Pennroyal was accused of stinginess, it was not considered that he had a great many liabilities to meet, and perhaps some big debts to pay off.
"I've gambled with Fischer's money, lost it, forged a transfer of his certificates to meet my liabilities, and I am in his power. He could have me hammered and chucked into Sing Sing, if he wanted to. That's all there is about it." Pamela stood the shock well. She turned to Fischer. "How much of this are you responsible for?" she asked. "That," he objected, "is an impotent question.
I will lift that burden from your shoulders, too, and all liabilities of yours do I assume oh! my dear Marian! with how much joy! and I will labor with and for you, until all your responsibilities of every sort are discharged, and my liege lady is free to live her own life!"
