He had innumerable stories of the devotional meeting idea, the Win-My-Chum idea, the stewardship idea, the Institute idea, the life service idea, the recreation idea, the study-class idea, and every other League idea so far invented. But all this is merely a hint of what the General Secretary meant to the Institute, and particularly to the delegates from Delafield.
As for Sam, let him pass; he'll not grind the poor, nor truckle to the rich, when he gives up his stewardship in the kingdom come. Lave him to the friend of the poor to his God; but the son of them that he oppressed, you will stand up for.
Dear me; how very odd! I had not the slightest expectation of meeting you here. The pleasure is of course the greater. 'Nor I of seeing you. Mrs Winterfield has not mentioned to me that you were coming to Perivale. 'I didn't know it myself till the day before yesterday. I'm going to give an account of my stewardship to the good-natured Perivalians who sent me to Parliament.
"Of course, but I want to talk of something else just now," she said. "You know I have very seldom asked you questions about my affairs, but I wish to take a little practical interest in them this year." "Yes?" said Barrington, with a smile. "Well, I am at your service, my dear, and quite ready to account for my stewardship. You are no longer my ward, except by your own wishes."
"I am glad indeed to see you, Mr Crathie," he said, "but I fear you are out too soon." "I am quite well since yesterday, my lord," returned the factor, his face shining with pleasure. "Your lordship's accession has made a young man of me again. Here I am to render account of my stewardship." "I want none, Mr Crathie nothing, that is, beyond a summary statement of how things stand with me."
I heard her say, "what new madness is this? Why do you persist in separating yourself from your family in this manner?" "No madness at all, my dear madam," he answered; "you would have done the same under the circumstances. My brother was civil, but I saw he would rather have me away, and continue his stewardship. And so I let him."
Trustees were nominated; and one Mr. Johnson, who had, during the best part of his life, been employed in the family, was now appointed receiver of the estates, at the earl's own request. The conduct of this man, in the course of his stewardship, gave umbrage to lord Ferrers, whose disposition was equally jealous and vindictive.
Admonish them in good season and chastise them when necessary: 'He that spareth the rod hateth his son, says the Holy Ghost. And keep your eyes open, for God will ask an account of your stewardship and will reward or punish you according as you have brought them up well or ill. A good son, a virtuous daughter are the joy and the comfort of their parents." The congregation were greatly impressed.
Gaubertin had founded his fortune, after losing his stewardship, on this growing business, estimating the effect of peace on the population of Paris, which did actually increase by over one-third between 1815 and 1825. The shape of Ville-aux-Fayes followed the conformation of the ground. Each side of the promontory was lined with wharves.
A curious expression flitted across the man's face. "Ay, that do I know well; nor is he far from here. We shall soon reach him in that wherry of yours. He is but across the river at Westminster, in the house of Thomas Percy, who has a lodging there in right of his office and stewardship to my Lord of Northumberland."
