They told him wonderful stories of camps and bivouacs, of skirmishes and snipings. They enlarged on the grilling fierceness of the December sun which had burnt their faces brick-red and peeled their noses��on the flies which swarmed thicker by far than over Odiam midden��on the awful dysentery that grabbed at half their pals��on the hypocritical Boers, who read the Bible and used dum-dum bullets.

ONE:Reuben fetched the candle to the bedside.He advertised him in the neighbourhood for some weeks beforehand, and gossip ran high. Condemnation of Backfield's ruthlessness in exploiting his brother was combined with a furtive admiration of his smartness as a business man. It was extraordinary how little he cared about "lowering himself," a vital matter with the other farmers of his position. Just as he had thought nothing of working his own farm instead of indulging in the dignity of hired labour, so he thought nothing of making money at Boarzell Fair with the gipsies and pikers.

"It wur wot he had worked and hoped and prayed fur all his life��to git back them Corn Laws." He was requested not to put the subject quite so bluntly."This is not satisfactory proof," said Oxford.
