Nettleship pointed out to us the importance of Husbanding our stores.
"Paddy Finn"
W. H. G. Kingston
But when Monsieur Cherami received his quarterly interest, instead of Husbanding that small sum, his last resource, paying some few debts, and dining inexpensively at one of the soup-kitchens, he would betake himself, with head erect and an arrogant air, to one of the best restaurants in Paris, take his seat with a great flourish, call the waiter, and order a sumptuous dinner of the daintiest dishes and the most expensive wines; and all in such wise that everybody who was in the room could hear him.
"Monsieur Cherami"
Charles Paul de Kock
They were Husbanding their small resources for the time of need.
