74 Tallyho, 



neighbours of all degrees, then the Duke and Duchess 

 of Beaufort are rich in that respect. 



A walk of eight miles is before me, and I trudge 

 away. Meeting with a Gloucestershire labourer who 

 is journeying the same road, I learn a lesson in life — 

 rather late — how to maintain a wife and six children, 

 in comfort, health, and cleanliness on thirteen shillings 

 a week. It hardly needed an assurance that little of 

 this modest stipend finds its way to the till of the 

 public-house. After a brisk walk, I am once more 

 in Bath, well satisfied with my day's work.
