Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Masston a Story of These Modern Days, Vol. 1 of 2
Jeavons and his fellows did resent was the cold and ghostly chucking at them of those gold pieces.
Nor had it always been so. In bygone time they had received their money from the hands of men who were magistrates or churchwardens, in a day when something was held within the names of these offices, men who acted for London and other merchants who traded with foreign lands. These masters not only paid well for the work which they ordered, but further personally thanked the workmen for their work; and they certainly never thought of untying the stout brown paper parcels in which the work was wrapped to see if it was according to order, and worthy of its price.
