"Dear Sir, After consultation with our clients, Messrs. Addison and Roscoe, we are enabled to make you the following offer. If no account is required of the mesne profits" "That's a wrong term," said James, irritably. "Mesne profits refer to profits derived from real estate. Just like a solicitor to make such a blunder." "The term is perfectly appropriate," replied his twin, with warmth.
"Never beyond this," replied Du Mesne, "and indeed not so far by many hundred miles. For my own part I rely chiefly upon the story of my brother, Greysolon du L'hut, the boldest soul that ever put paddle in the St. Lawrence.
If half he says be true, we do ill to bide here in old England. Let us take ship and follow Monsieur du Mesne." "'Twould be a long chase, mayhap," said Pembroke, reflectively. Yet each of the men at that little table in the gaming room of the Green Lion coffee-house ceased in his fingering the cards, and gazed upon this product of another world.
My father's savings were absolutely left to her, and have been accumulating all this time, and they will be a very fair maintenance for her and Babie." "There is no danger of her having to pay the mesne profits?" "No, certainly not, as it stands. Mr. Wakefield says that cannot happen.
He turned away as John Law stepped up beside him. "There must have been game here in plenty," said Law. "There are bones scattered all about." Du Mesne and Tête Gris looked at each other in silence, and the former at length replied: "This is an Iroquois war house, Monsieur L'as," said he. "They lived here for more than a month, and, as you say, they fed well.
"Sir," said he, "you see here my little crooked rows of maize. Look you, the beaver will pass away, but the roots of the corn will never be torn out. Here is your wealth, Du Mesne." The sturdy captain scratched his head. "I only know, for my part," said he, "that I do not care for the settlements.
A little open space was quickly found at the edge of the cove in which the disembarkation was made, and here Du Mesne and his followers soon kicked away the twigs and leveled out a smooth place upon the grass. Each man produced from his belt a broad-bladed knife, and for the moment disappeared in the deep fringe of evergreens which lined the shore.
But before that the Paiutes, mesne lords of the soil, made a campoodie by the rill of Pine Creek; and after, contesting the soil with them, cattle-men, who found its foodful pastures greatly to their advantage; and bands of blethering flocks shepherded by wild, hairy men of little speech, who attested their rights to the feeding ground with their long staves upon each other's skulls.
From this time the earl came to be called comes, consul, and dux, though consul and dux grew afterward out of use; the King's thanes came to be called barons, and their lands baronies; the middle thane holding still of a mesne lord, retained the name of vavasor.
Come to dinner: only our two selves." "Very well," replied Lionel. And he went out of the surgery, leaving John Massingbird talking to his brother. "On business," John Massingbird had said. Was it to ask him about the mesne profits? when he could refund them? to tell him he would be sued, unless he did refund them?
