I asked the woman how her husband could carry on the trade of a clog-maker in such a remote place and also whether he hawked his clogs about the country.
"Is the mistress at home," said Jones, "or the master?" "And who are you?" said I. "I am only a lodger," said she, "I lodge here with my husband who is a clog-maker." "Can you speak English?" said I.

"We call him a clog-maker," said the woman, "but the truth is that he merely cuts down the wood and fashions it into squares, these are taken by an under-master who sends them to the manufacturer at Bolton, who employs hands, who make them into clogs."
