Why, sir, they growl as insolently now at the parson or the squire's wife if they don't get as much money as their neighbours, as they used to at the parish vestrymen under the old law.

Look at that Lord Vieuxbois, sir, as sweet a gentleman as ever God made.

It used to do me good to walk behind him when he came over here shooting, just to hear the gentle kind-hearted way in which he used to speak to every old soul he met.

He spends his whole life and time about the poor, I hear.

But, sir, as sure as you live he's making his people slaves and humbugs.
