Description
Excerpt from Old Country Life
Not only so, but it brings little money into the place. It employs no labour. It is there not to keep Open house, but to Shut up the purse. In former days the landlord exacted his rents, but then he lived in the midst Of his tenants, and the money that came in as rent went out as wage, and in payment for butter, eggs, meat, oats, and hay. The money collected out Of a place returned to it again. It is so in many country places in England now where squire and parson live on the land.
