His successor had plunged with energy into all manner of improvements and among others he fell to draining a piece of outlying waste and unreclaimed land of Lord Cumnor s which was close to Squire Hamley s property that very piece for which he had had the Government grant but which now lay neglected and only half-drained with stacks of mossy tiles and lines of up-turned furrows telling of abortive plans. It was not often that the squire rode in this direction now-a-days but the cottage of a man who had been the squire s gamekeeper in those more prosperous days when the Hamleys could afford to preserve was close to the rush-grown ground. This old servant and tenant was ill and had sent a message up to the Hall asking to see the squire not to reveal any secret or to say anything particular but only from the feudal loyalty which made it seem to the dying man as if it would be a comfort to shake the hand and look once more into the eyes of the lord and master whom he had served and whose ancestors his own forbears had served for so many generations. And the squire was as fully alive as old Silas to the claims of the tie that existed between them. Though he hated the thought and still more should hate the sight of the piece of land on the side of which Silas s cottage stood the squire ordered his horse and rode off within half-an-hour of receiving the message. As he drew near the spot he thought he heard the sound of tools and the hum of many voices just as he used to hear them a year or two before. He listened with surprise. Yes. Instead of the still solitude he had expected there was the clink of iron the heavy gradual thud of the fall of barrows-full of soil -the cry and shout of labourers. But not on his land - better
