I had a letter a week ago from our agent to ask if he should relet it for the winter and next season, and I have not yet replied to him." "Nonsense, nonsense, Sylvia! We cannot go to live there." "I don't wish it, my love." The pair sat quite silent after Mrs. Cardew had made this last remark.
The current then turned, the prisoners numbering in '69, 129, and in '70, 118. In '67 the authorities relet the prisoners at ninety cents per day instead of forty, a great advance, brightening the financial prosperity of the institution. But in doing this they had to make a great outlay in enlarging the shop, obtaining a new engine, boilers, &c.
There existed in Ireland at this time a class of persons calling themselves gentlemen tenants the worst tenants in the world middlemen, who relet the lands, and live upon the produce, not only in idleness, but in insolent idleness. This kind of half gentry, or mock gentry, seemed to consider it as the most indisputable privilege of a gentleman not to pay his debts.
In consequence of Mrs Milvain's pressing application, half of this sum had at length been paid and the remainder was promised in a year's time, greatly to Jasper's astonishment. In addition, there would be the trifle realised by the sale of furniture, though most of this might have to go in payment of rent unless the house could be relet immediately.
The best thing, perhaps, would be to tell Frau Wander just to take her things and clear out; then at least we could relet the rooms." "Frau Wander does not work?" "How can she? five children, and the youngest still at the breast." "I will see to it myself, and let you know what is to be done." "Very good, Herr Doctor," said Stubbe, much relieved.
"And that that the gnädiges Fraulein would not come." "Idiot!" exclaimed Ruth, revealing an excellent semblance of rage. "You have relet my rooms?" "But you may occupy the Herr Hauptman's," burst out the browbeaten Innkeeper. "And where is Captain von Brenner?" It all came out at one gush of chattering information. The captain had been sent for by the Herr General Stultz.
When he met the tenants on their first arrival he was accompanied by a locksmith and a painter and glazier, very convenient folks, as he remarked. The lessee was at liberty to make improvements; but if the unhappy man did so, little Molineux thought night and day of how he could dislodge him and relet the improved appartement on better terms.
A considerable tract of Sir Ulick's coast estate, in consequence of this, remained untenanted. Some person in whom he could confide must be selected to inhabit the fishing-lodge, and to take care of the cabins and land till they should be relet.
Another called the "hope" has been rented for 10 years at £2000 sterling, equal to $9600 per annum. Another, after being rented at a high price, was relet, by the lessee, who became entirely absolved from the contract, and took $16,000 for his bargain. If required, I could give you a host of similar cases, with the names of the parties. But it seems unnecessary.
Besides the work at the Kiosk, towards the end of March things gradually began to improve in other directions. Several firms began to take on a few hands. Several large empty houses that were relet had to be renovated for their new tenants, and there was a fair amount of inside work arising out of the annual spring-cleaning in other houses.
