The Crewys family had been Squires of Barracombe, cultivating their own lands and living upon them contentedly, for centuries before the Hewels had ever been heard of in Devon, as all the village knew very well; wherefore they regarded the Hewels with a mixture of good-natured contempt and kindly tolerance.
"Take the cob along quietly, and let her ladyship know directly you get in that I'm returning by Hewelscourt woods, and the ferry." "Very good, Sir Peter," said the youth, zealously. "It would be only civil to look in on the Hewels as Sarah is going back to town so soon," said Peter to himself.
There are no very near neighbours I mean, not the sort of people they would recognize as neighbours except the Hewels. Youlestone is such an out-of-the-way place, and Sir Timothy was never on intimate terms with any one. Mrs. Hewel is a fool there was only little Sarah whom Lady Mary made a pet of but she had no friends.
The contempt was because Hewelscourt had been built within the memory of living man, and only two generations of Hewels born therein; the tolerance because the present owner, though not a wealthy man, was as liberal in his dealings as their squire was the reverse.
