All this was very fierce and fine; and so I pressed for a peaceful corner in the lower dexter, and obtained a wheat-sheaf set upright, gold upon a field of green. Here I was inclined to pause, and admire the effect; for even De Whichehalse could not show a bearing so magnificent.
Keep from the Doones, keep from De Whichehalse, keep from everything which leads beyond the sight of thy knowledge. I meant to use thee as my tool; but I see thou art too honest and simple. I will send a sharper down; but never let me find thee, John, either a tool for the other side, or a tube for my words to pass through.
This he said in a sudden manner, as if to take me off my guard, and fixed his great thick eyes on me. And in truth I was much astonished. "Yes, my lord, there is. At least, not so very far from us. Baron de Whichehalse, of Ley Manor." "Baron, ha! of the Exchequer eh, lad? And taketh dues instead of His Majesty. Somewhat which halts there ought to come a little further, I trow.
And so about fifty years before the time of which I am writing, there were few names in the West of England thought more of than De Whichehalse. But now they had lost a great deal of land, and therefore of that which goes with land, as surely as fame belongs to earth I mean big reputation.
Before the great war broke out they came, longer back than I can remember. 'Ay, long before thou wast born, John. Good, thou speakest plainly. Woe betide a liar, whenso I get hold of him. Ye want me on the Western Circuit; by God, and ye shall have me, when London traitors are spun and swung. There is a family called De Whichehalse living very nigh thee, John?

Anyhow, all people loved this last strain of De Whichehalse far more than the name had been liked a hundred years agone. I am sure that, without knowing aught of either, we must have reverenced more of the two the one who showed respect to us. And yet nine gentleman out of ten make this dull mistake when dealing with the class below them!

'No dog, no man, is the rule about here, when it comes to coppice work, continued young de Whichehalse; there is not a man would dare work there, without a dog to scare the pixies. 'There is a big young fellow upon this farm, Carver Doone muttered sulkily, 'with whom I have an account to settle, if ever I come across him. He hath a cursed spite to us, because we shot his father.
