  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    Sir John Robinson was the landlord of our district. The family had been settled in the district since the year 1500.
    He was a good landlord and he never evicted anyone. The land was divided into farms.

    He used to give the people a glass of whiskey when they would pay the rent, and at Christmas he would give the poor people a cart full of coal.
