I observed that he gave the latter a cold welcome. "I shall send the sheriff and a posse," he said with a troubled look. "Pardon me, but I think it will make a bad matter worse," I answered. "We must not forget that the patroons are our clients," he remarked. I yielded and went on with my work. In the next week or so I satisfied myself of the rectitude of my opinions.
The farms established by these patroons were to belong to them and to their families after them. The one thing that the patroons were not permitted to do was to collect the furs of animals, for these were very valuable and the Company claimed them all.
They exchanged carefully impersonal views on Siward's good qualities for a moment or two; then Marion said bluntly: "Do you know anything in particular about that Patroons Club affair?" "No," said Sylvia, "nothing in particular." "Neither do I; and I don't care to; I mean, that I don't care what he did; and I wish that gossiping old Major would stop trying to hint it to me." "My uncle!" "Oh!
The patroons, who had been at great expense in colonizing the territory, deemed the demand unjust, and sent a commissioner to remonstrate against it. Stuyvesant arrested the commissioner and held him in close confinement for four months. The Swedes were also making vigorous efforts to get possession of the beautiful lands on the Delaware.

"I wonder if you know Howard Quarrier?" she said. After a second's hesitation he replied: "Yes a little. Everybody does." "You do know him?" "Only at the club." "Oh, the Lenox?" "The Lenox and the Patroons."
The bulk of the white population was not oppressed, and was able to get a living, for Virginia was "the best poor man's country in the world"; there was little or none of the discontent that embarrassed the New Amsterdam patroons; the charter gave them representation, and their manhood was not undermined.
He accepts clients with great care; he has steadfastly refused the business of Pittsburgh millionaires, remunerative as it was certain to be; but he seems to take a sort of personal pride in keeping intact the reputations of the old families, even when their scions embark in the most outrageous escapades. If you are descended from the Pilgrims or the Patroons, Mr.
Before many years had passed there was much trouble with these patroons, who did a great deal to make themselves rich, and very little for New Netherland. They traded in furs, notwithstanding they were forbidden to do so, and did all manner of things they should not have done.
