"Well, you rich men are pushed as often for money as the poor ones.
One would think, on the face of it, that a calling which gives a settled home, a comfortable room, rent-free, with fire and lights, good board and lodging, and steady, well-paid wages, would certainly offer more attractions than the making of shirts for tenpence, with all the risks of providing one's own sustenance and shelter.
"My father would like to know," he said, "what you propose to do with regard to the old woman who is the present tenant of the cottage." "Elizabeth Prettyman is not a tenant," said Mrs. de Tracy coldly. "She is practically a pensioner, since she lives rent-free." "True, I forgot," said Mark soothingly. "I beg your pardon." "Do not suppose that it is by my wish," continued Mrs. de Tracy coldly.
I accepted from him three hundred a year; and requested that the annuity I allowed to the unfortunate Lady Glenthorn might be continued; that the house which I had built for Ellinor, and the land belonging to it, might be secured to her rent-free for life; and that all my debts should be paid. I recommended Mr.
His managers lived, rent-free, with salaries commensurate to ability, in five and ten-thousand-dollar houses but they were the cream of specialists skimmed from the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

How much wiser thus to utilise one's house-top than to yield it up, rent-free, to cats and sparrows! Achmet Pasha, the Dey of Algiers at this time, or rather the pirate-king, had a thorough appreciation of the roof of his palace, and spent many hours daily on it, in consultation with his ministers, or in converse with his wives. As deys went, Achmet was a comparatively respectable man.
Having a little rent-free and inherited land, he was quite independent of patronage. Rámdá was "everyone's grandfather," a friend of the poor, whose joys and sorrows he shared. He watched by sick-beds, helped to carry dead bodies to the burning-ghát, in short did everything in his power for others, refusing remuneration in any shape. He was consequently loved and respected by all classes.
The miser's ghost walks about here sometimes, after twelve o'clock at night, folks say. 'Let him walk till he tires himself out, says I. 'He don't come my way; and if he did he wouldn't scare me. Come, captain." Mr. Milsom opened the door, and ushered his visitor into the lively abode, which the prejudice of weak-minded people permitted him to occupy rent-free.

You must learn to think a little of others, lad. You sees how I sweats to serve the squire! and you must serve him too. Why, your mother's got the house and premishes almost rent-free; you ought to have a grateful heart, Leonard Fairfield, and feel for his honour!
