  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    The people long ago used to pay their rent and rates to the landlords and if they had not the rates for the landlord when he would come he would evict them and knock their houses. There were three landlords going around long ago and their names were Richard St. George. Count Blake and Mr. Tailor.
    They had things to knock the houses in the people when they wouldn't pay their rents and rates. When they would come to the people they would ask for the rent and if they didn't get it they would tumble down the house.
