"There's altogether, outside the palings and in, about a hundred and fifty acres of it.

I'll give you one pound two and sixpence an acre, and I won't cut an acre of grass inside the park;--no, nor much of it outside either;--only just enough to give me a little fodder for the cattle in winter." "And give up Plaistow Hall ?" asked Clara.
"Lord love you, no.

I've a matter of nine hundred acres on hand there, and most of it under the plough.

I've counted it up, and it would just cost me a thousand pounds to stock this place.

I should come and look at it twice a year or so, and I should see my money home again, if I didn't get any profit out of it." Mr.Amedroz was astonished.
