"What I mean, madam, is that your respected father could devise you a part only of this property, because the rest was not his to devise. He only had a life-interest in it." "His will, therefore, fails as to some part of the property? How much, and what part, if you please?" "The larger and better part of the estates, including this house and grounds, and the home-farm." Mrs.
He is quite content with himself, because he thinks that he has not been selfish. He cares nothing that he has robbed every one all round. He has no reverence for property and the laws which govern it. He was born only with the life-interest, and he has determined to treat it as though the fee-simple had belonged to him.
"Listen to me, Mere Cardinal: I'll marry your daughter; give her your uncle's gold, and I'll guarantee to you a life-interest in the house and the dividends from the money in the Funds." "We sha'n't run any risk?" "None, whatever." "Agreed, then," said the widow Cardinal, holding out her hand to her future son-in-law. "Six thousand francs a year; hey! what a fine life I'll have."
He had already shown it, in entirely relinquishing his future wife's life-interest in the very small property the late Mr. Kirkpatrick had left, in favour of Cynthia; while he arranged that she should come to his home as a daughter as soon as she left the school she was at. The life-interest was about thirty pounds a year. Now he gave Mrs.
Is it satisfied by a leasehold or a life-interest, or by such an arrangement of corporate property as is offered by a collegiate foundation, or by the provision of a public park? Does it require for its satisfaction material and visible things such as land or houses, or is the holding, say, of colonial railway shares sufficient?
Mind you don't, then. For, you see, it's to her own disadvantage, since when I die and supposing I have forgiven you the child that has to grow will inherit everything, and Susan only have a life-interest in it. Why shouldn't you have children of your own? Why shouldn't we? I didn't like to dwell upon the idea before, but why shouldn't we?
Her conviction was that she who, as a woman many years his senior, should have shown her love for him by guiding him straight into the paths he aimed at, had blocked his attempted career for her own happiness. This made her more intent than ever to find out a device by which, while she still retained him, he might also retain the life-interest under his uncle's will.
He was now embarrassed, but all his present debts did not amount to much more than half one year's income of that property which would be his, probably in about ten years. The Squire might live for twenty years, or might die to-morrow; but his life-interest in the estate, according to the usual calculations, was not worth more than ten years' purchase.
And, besides, it must be remembered I had only a life-interest upon the Lyndon property, was always of an easy temper in dealing with the money-brokers, and had to pay heavily for insuring her Ladyship's life. At the end of a year Lady Lyndon presented me with a son Bryan Lyndon I called him, in compliment to my royal ancestry: but what more had I to leave him than a noble name?
Inward principle of his outward deportment. He subordinates the State to him instead of subordinating himself to the State. Effect of this. His work merely a life-interest. It is ephemeral. Injurious. The number of lives it cost. The mutilation of France. Vice of construction in his European edifice. Analogous vice in his French edifice.
