Excerpt from Agony Point, Vol. 2 of 2: Or the Groans of Gentility
I don't see the saving of that machine, said Farmer Thorold. Working Broad Meadow used to take two men two days in my time, sir; and you have had two men and a horse, and half a day longer about it: let alone the job for the blacksmith in tinkering up that what-d'ye call-it.' Every field that Tom farmed, every definite piece of work that he had finished, drew forth the same unpleasant comparisons from some one. Whether with machinery or without it was all the same. Three days or three men, with the discarded tenant, was credibly reported to have done as much, and done it better, than four days would do for the much-perplexed and puzzled landlord.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the Langely family as they attempt to live a life of self-sufficient farming, set against the backdrop of Victorian England. While Tom Langley is hopeful that his family will enjoy this new lifestyle, he soon finds that farming presents a unique set of challenges he is not prepared for. He has difficulty with his workers, the weather, and the inherent ups and downs inherent to agriculture. His wife Minnie, who initially relishes the prospect of becoming a farmer's wife, also finds the reality far different from her expectations.
