Mr. Tudor called me a charitable charwoman last evening; but this is an exceptional case, so many helpless beings, and such shocking mismanagement and neglect. When I put things on a proper footing I shall not spend so much time there. 'What do you mean by putting things on a proper footing? he asked, with some show of interest.
One of those members of His Majesty's Opposition who are doing so much at present to save our country from destruction, by kindly pointing out the mistakes of the British Government and the British Army, would refer to the whole scene as a pandemonium of mismanagement and ineptitude.
They had been sent out by the agents of the Earl, but there was a great deal of mismanagement and misunderstanding, both as to the motives and intentions of the Earl. The result was that the half-breeds of Red River influenced, it is said, by the Nor'-West Company received the newcomers with suspicion and ill-will. The Indians followed the lead of the half-breeds, to whom they were allied.

By nature the horse is good. If he learns bad manners by associating with bad men, we ought to lay the blame where it belongs.
She had suffered from the want of a domestic manager and house counsellor; even the very good temper and great forbearance of her husband had given way at the small amount of comfort that could be obtained with such a lavish expenditure of money as his had been since they came to London; and he had spoken more sharply to her about her mismanagement than about anything else, so she felt that now he had a housekeeper of his own choosing, she should escape from all responsibility.
