And it was such a horrid house too. Sorrow there would take a sickly and undignified form. For the Coltsfoot bungalow was unusually ugly even for an Essex small-holding.
A 'small-holding' cottage between the trenches had been shelled and set on fire, and was gutted to the four bare, blackened walls.

I think he used to be a clerk, and came into a little money and bought the holding, and now they're finding it very difficult to get along." "This small-holding business ought to be stopped." "Why?" asked Ellen peevishly.
