Giles told him that there was nothing save the Workhouse for his father and mother in their old age, and he (Giles) was determined that he would not follow such a discourag- ing life, if he could make a livelihood in London. Mr. Denton had then asked him what changes he thought would make him wish to go back to the land, and some of the ideas he had given that night were the outcome of Giles' replies. He trusted that if these improvements became practicable, it would make the life of the villag...ers more hopeful and fraught with that happiness which a beneficent Creator intended should be enjoyed by those living on this bountiful earth. The pleasure which was felt by the labourers present at the prospect of a more attractive vil- lage life was apparent and small groups afterwards dis- cussed the ideas put forward by their Member. One large employer hinted, indeed, that everybody would soon be masters and that there would be no labouring men, though he admitted that they were willing to offer inducements for men to remain in the villages, the amount of available labour having diminished to a serious extent.
