The Amateur Poacher

CHAPTER VII
5/31

If a man goes out into the fields now and then chance-like he don't get much, and is most sure to be caught--very likely in the place of somebody else the keepers were waiting for and as didn't come.

I goes to work every day the same as the rest, only I always take piece-work, which I can come to when I fancy, and stay as late in the evening as suits me with a good excuse.

As I knows navigating, I do a main bit of draining and water-furrowing, and I gets good wages all the year round, and never wants for a job.

You see, I knows more than the fellows as have never been at nothing but plough.
'The reason I gets on so well poaching is because I'm always at work out in the fields, except when I goes with the van.
