Excerpt from Boy's Country-Book: Being the Real Life of a Country Boy, Written by Himself; Exhibiting All the Amusements, Pleasures, and Pursuits of Children in the Country The next neighbour was old Tommy Hall - so we called him - a tall, thin man, who prided himself on his being born and bred a gentleman; but who, having spent all his property in gambling, racing, and hunting; had retired to this secluded village with the wreck of his fortune, some few shillings a week, and lived by himself in a house of two rooms. Gentle man as he was, however, he was very fond of new laid eggs, and whenever: he heard the hens cackling in our yard opposite, he made a speedy Visit there, and whoever went after him was sure to find empty nests. His neighbour was a good old woman, Mary Kater, who'lived in a house of a single room, where she often assembled her friends to a prayer-meeting, for she belonged to that most useful religious body the Methodists, and we used to peep through the space left by her window curtain on such occasions, and I then wondered at the zealous gestures and fervent zeal of herself and friends. But the house of all houses was the next. It was that of a poor widow, old Sally Garner. It was a small cottage, with a brick floor as worn and uneven as need be. A few crazy chairs, a table.
