occupation franchise

More than the books, and they are greatly so, this is an action franchise.

At an early hour next morning the train of wagons got into motion, and the hunters went out to their usual occupation.

I am prepared to respect the franchise, to give substantially, although not nominally, equality.

But, fortunately, they had scant time for repining, and there is nothing like active occupation to banish useless brooding.

Everywhere there was a sense of recent occupation, an impression of sadness and gloom.

Let the wags laugh on; but a far pleasanter occupation is to sleep until breakfast-time, or near it.
