In all public works, such as making and repairing highways, --draining marshes,--repairing the banks of rivers, etc. soldiers were employed as labourers; and in all such cases, the greatest care was taken to provide for their comfortable subsistence, and even for their amusement. Good lodgings were prepared for them, and good and wholesome food, at a reasonable price; and the greatest care was taken of them when they happened to fall sick.英文原著 · 《ESSAYS-1》

Among other things was the closing with brickwork of the entrance to the passage leading to the unused cellars.英文原著 · 《A Lady of Quality》
