Trusteeship means that we take directions as to the employment of the property from its owner.
In ordinary times these difficulties are taken care of by the operation of the law of supply and demand. If the price is too high the buyer has time to go elsewhere. In war the element of time is one of the chief considerations. When what is wanted is once found it must be made available at once. The principle of trusteeship also comes into more immediate operation.
The direction not merely of Schleswig-Holstein but of Lauenberg was assumed by Austria and Prussia, who, by virtue of a treaty signed October 30, 1864, took upon themselves their civil and military administration. The administration which then ensued was announced as being but a temporary trusteeship, and throughout Europe was generally so regarded. But Prussia had other views.
He uses his wealth, Wallis says, to maintain the prosperity of the nation! He feels his trusteeship. And he is so generous! He has given a great deal to the church, and now," she added, "I am sure he will give more." Hodder was appalled. He felt helpless before the weight of this onslaught. "I dare say he will continue to assist, as he has in the past," he managed to say.
The way to rule the world is to make it want something, and keep it wanting. "I make so bold as to hope," Lord Ferriby was saying, "that when sufficient publicity has been given to our scheme we shall be able to raise the necessary funds.

"Come to ask me about all THAT," he cried. "I've never written yet." "Oh, among other things," said I, with a sudden regrettable politeness, and waived the topic of his trusteeship to ask after my aunt Susan. "We'll have her out of it," he said suddenly; "we'll go somewhere. We don't get you in London every day."
At all cost he felt he must get out of it that is, at all cost save that of exciting and distressing his father. Ah, that was the difficulty!

Thérèse is not a child; she ought to be capable of managing her own affairs."

Neither of the men spoke for some time after this, and presently Jasper rose to go. He had all but reached the door when he turned back. "You will be in good time in the city to-morrow, John." "Yes, of course. Not that there is anything very special going on. Why do you ask?" "Only that we must give an answer to that question of the trusteeship to the Rutherford orphans.
