My father, Richard Salkeld was the youngest son of Oliver Salkeld, lord-of-the-manor of Beechcot-on-the-Wold, and he practiced in York as an attorney. Whether he did well or ill in this calling I know not, for at the early age of six years I was left an orphan.
He felt, as I have said, that he was not the one to have control over finances that was the wife's province. Then he had another attitude which certainly did not jibe with the Lord-of-the-Manor idea. Perhaps there would be something I wanted to do, and I would wait to ask him about it when he got home. Invariably the same thing would happen.
I did not discover his name either, but he was some relation of the 'Lord-of-the-Manor' person who received the King." "You don't know his name?" asked Doris in a shocked voice. "Weren't you introduced?" "Never a bit of it," laughed Hal.
