A farmer could not have a good looking horse, or a greyhound. If the landlord heard that a farmer's son was in the habit of going coursing hares on a Sunday evening he would soon put a stop to it.
A landlord was driving home from town one evening, and he saw a farmer's daughter on the road. She was wearing a hat and when the landlord saw her, he inquired of the coachman who she was. A few days later the girl's father got his rent increased by a couple of pounds.
