“He was a man of action and much preferred being up on the dales with the sheep than examining accounts, but knew it was a matter of first things first.
The books were neat and accurate, his sister Kate’s doing, since Lady Elizabeth was happier dealing with live animals than with figures. Over the years the accounts recorded the slow but steady progress of the farm. When his father and mother had married against her family’s wishes, they had come to Yorkshire with only a fraction of what Lady El...izabeth had the right to expect for a dowry. His father was a younger son, and so he had nothing but his brain to support them. Scholarly books on the Arthurian cycle and the presence of the Green Man in folklore not being in great demand meant that something else had to support their growing family. That was when his mother began considering the benefits of crossbreeding sheep, and had been so successful over the past twenty-odd years that she had managed to provide them with a comfortable, if not luxurious life.MoreLess
