"Only a broken heart, sir.  Ah! if he’d only telled me afore!  We’ve had bad times, as you know, sir; ’twas worse than I knew, and my poor man kep’ it all to himself, so’s not to worrit me.  He went and borrowed money of Mr. Noakes, sir, to tide him over harvest.  I don’t know the rights of it; ’tis too much for my poor head; but by what I can make of it Trenchard signed a paper to say as if he didn’t pay back the money by a certain time the farm ’ud belong to Mr. Noakes, and a week afore the time Mr. Noakes could put a man in to see as we didn’t rob him.  And he’s in now, sir, in there—’tis Ted Smail, a rascal of a man as knocks his poor wife about. And what I’ll do, Them above only knows."
