  2. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    Our Landlord was Lord Bellew, and he was a good Landlord. He never made the people give him anything or fined them for anything they did. He mended houses that weren't belonging to him.
    Our farm was owned since my father's great-grant father's time.
    Lord Bellew never put anyone out of their houses and he never put anyone out of his own houses for anything they did.
    When trees fell he used send round to the poor people to take them for firewood.
