LP Hartley - Synopsis - Sample I WAS brought up to be a farmer — I'll tell you how it was. My father was a Bank Manager at Fosdyke, a small town in the Fens near Medehamstead, and besides being a Bank Manager, he had an interest in a brick-works, quite a small affair it was, and he regarded it at first, I seem to remember, more as a hobby than as a source of income. It just paid its way. Later, when I was of an age to understand such things, he told me it brought in on an average £500 a year which, with his salary, gave him an income of nearly a thousand, which seemed to me a great deal, and was a good deal, in those days. But the brick-trade was extremely speculative — you could expect one bad year in every three years, people said — and in the bad years it brought in nothing at all and sometimes made a loss. My father was anything but a gambler, indeed he disapproved of it, being a Nonconformist and a rationalist; but he had great confidence in his own judgment, and though he wasn't by instinct a business man, he brought to business the same steady enthusiasm he had for games.
