 continue to evince the inextinguishable zeal for the rights and interests of the fens which have so pre-eminently marked its 

 illustrious predecessors '. All the dwellers on the Level are now (April, 1909) aghast at the approaching sale even though 

 at low prices directly to themselves of the great Thorney estate.
