Il am very glad to hear you think so.n

why? Do you think of taking

on losing eight hundred a year"
Eight hundred year? That's good
deal to lose" he said, drawing a long
face.
why does he lose it? Because he
never gees out of the house except to
hunt or shoot; because he's lounging

because he pays Evans three hundred a

It's famous land-the best in the county.
I'll get the place, house and all, for a
pound an acre. You're bound to make il

l caught sight Of him in the afternoon
jogging along in the gig towards Captain
with Lynn Yeames on the seat
beside him.
