The Terry Alts

“The Terry Alts were a bad class; everything you had they’d take from you. It was against herding they began to get the land, the same as at the present time. And women they would take; a man maybe that hadn’t a perch of land would go to a rich farmer’s house and bring away his daughter. And I, supposing, to have some spite against you, I’d gather a mob and do every bad thing to destroy you. That is the way they were, a bad class and doing bad deeds.”
