"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
It is strange that such men as this should choose to throw in their lot with so many who are idle-whom they must know to be idle-thus jeopardising their own position for the sake of those who are not worth one-fifth the sacrifice the agricultural cottager must be called upon to make in a strike.
"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
Every cottager in the hamlet knows somebody in the town; the girls go there to service, the boys to get employment.
