They remain with them from generation to generation. The best and the noblest amongst them the Ashworths of Turton, the Strutts of Derby, the Marshalls of Leeds, the Akroyds of Halifax, the Brooks of Huddersfield, and many others, have continued to superintend their works for several generations.

It was well described to me once as 'utter squalor. Next day I went to the camp of the 4th N.F. south of Langemarck and to Marsouine camp, to arrange certain details of the relief.

In Hannah's presence his poor dull wits were not his own; he could in truth think of nothing but her. After the meal, however, when a draught of ale had put some heart in him, he got up with an air of resolution. 'I mun goo and see what that felly's been doin' wi' th' Huddersfield beeasts, he said; 'wilta coom wi' me, Davy? Mary! He called the little maid.
Henceforth arose what is known as the Huddersfield scheme, a scheme which has been fruitful in splendid results.
At Huddersfield the great Drill Hall was crammed for a lecture by me against war, and throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire scarcely a voice was ever raised in crowded meetings in defence of the Beaconsfieldian policy.
Yet, though this shrinking was combined with exceedingly delicate health, she never shirked her duty, but went steadily on with housekeeping, farming, nursing, or public speaking, just as the Lord gave it to her to do even consenting to stand upon a horse-block at Huddersfield to address a crowd whom otherwise she could not have reached.
