This is the more remarkable, because the want of Vowels in our Language has been the general Complaint of our politest Authors, who nevertheless are the Men that have made these Retrenchments, and consequently very much increased our former Scarcity. This Reflection on the Words that end in ed, I have heard in Conversation from one of the greatest Genius's this Age has produced.
Those of the customs, those of the divers loans, the dividends upon the Hotel de Ville in all times so sacred all were suspended; these last alone continued, but with delays, then with retrenchments, which desolated nearly all the families of Paris and many others. At the same time the taxes increased, multiplied, and exacted with the most extreme rigour completed the devastation of France.
Though she could not succeed in making retrenchments, the could and did succeed in keeping the household books. Sir Anthony could only blow up the servants when they were thoughtless enough to come in his way, and in doing that was restricted by his wife's presence. But Lady Aylmer could get at them day and night.
She seemed to have no thought of our position, no sense of my struggles; welcomed any mark of my weakness with responsive joy; and when I was drove again to my retrenchments, did not always dissemble her chagrin.

Along with prudent retrenchments went increasingly aggressive expansion, both east and west. It was one of the main objects of Mr Hays's policy to secure a hold on the rich traffic possibilities of New York and the New England states. Portland, the original New England terminus of the Grand Trunk, had not become the great commercial centre it once expected to be.
He said Babie had a prejudice against Miss Parsons; and he was so far right that the Infanta did not like her, thought her a humbug, and sorely felt that for the first time something had come between herself and Armine. Allen was another trouble. He did not agree to the retrenchments, in which he saw no sense, and retained his horse and groom.
The examination will lead to beneficial retrenchments or produce a conviction of the wisdom of the measures to which the expenditure relates.
