The Black Tor

CHAPTER FIVE
3/14

Who are they, to claim an open wild place like that?
They'll be saying next that all Darbyshire belongs to them.

It's as much ours as theirs, and, if we had our rights, it would be ours.

I shall go, in spite of all the Darleys in the county.

Who are they?
Piece of rock and moor like that, and they claim it.
