With an income like this, special allowances, even generous allowances, can be and are made, and so the tenants cease to feel that their landlord is living out of their labour.

The agreements are just; there is no rapacity.

Very likely the original lease or arrangement has expired half a century since; but no one troubles to renew it.

It is well understood that no change will be effected.

The tenure is as steady as if the tenant had an Act of Parliament at his back.
When men have once settled, they and their descendants remain, generation after generation.
