Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cheap Jack Zita, Vol. 2 of 3
Zita was alive to the fact that every one in the house and on the farm - Mrs. Tunkiss, the shaking maid-of-all-work, the herd, the labourers, the stable-boy - all stood in awe of him. The housekeeper was as a lamb under his reprimand a word addressed to the girl with St. Vitus dance drove her into convulsions; an order given to the men galvanised them into momentary agility and sent the boy skipping like a flea. Zita despised them for their subserviency. She was not afraid of Drownlands. She knew that concerning him which was sufficient to make him quake before her.
