Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oakshott Castle: Being the Memoir of an Eccentric Nobleman The weather had been dim and wild all day, and the sea had begun to tumble in heavily from the south-west; but when the fishermen had gathered round the fire inside the screen, there was one matter of congratulation among them all: there was not one single boat out; the catch had been good, the hucksters had been ready, the fish were gone, the money was paid, the women were seeing to the nets, and each man had in his pocket a sum of money allowed him by his wife for liquor. If he chose to spend it that night, he could spend it; if not, he could leave some of it for another night: but so long as he did not come to bed with his boots on, every married man there was as free as if he were a bachelor. As the head lady of the place, Mrs. Price, said, "They have arnt their money, God bless ´em, and arnt it hard; let ´em have some good company together." And so these wicked women, not having the fear of the League before their eyes, had made their husbands strip and dry, given them their suppers, taken their money from them, given them half-a-crown apiece, and sent them off to the Oakshott Arms for a gossip, while they turned to hanging out the nets.
