"'I
have
heard
that.'"
“Some
time
ago
I
bought
a
small
place
near
Reading.
I
found
some
special
earth
in
my
field.
It
was
not
a
lot,
but
my
neighbors
had
more.
They
did
not
know
it
was
valuable.
I
wanted
to
buy
their
land,
but
I
had
no
money.
My
friends
and
I
kept
it
a
secret.
We
worked
the
earth
to
get
money.
We
built
a
press
to
help
us.
The
press
broke,
and
we
need
your
help.
No
one
must
know.
If
people
see
you
come,
they
will
ask
questions.
Then
we
cannot
buy
the
land.
Please
do
not
tell
anyone
you
are
coming
to
Eyford
tonight.
Do
you
understand?”
“I
understand,”
I
said.
“But
I
don’t
know
why
you
need
a
press
for
earth.”
“Ah!”
he
said.
“We
make
the
earth
into
bricks.
Then
people
do
not
know
what
it
is.
But
that
is
not
important.
I
trust
you,
Mr.
Hatherley.”
He
stood
up.
“I
will
see
you
at
Eyford
at
11.”
“I
will
be
there.”
“And
tell
no
one.”
He
looked
at
me,
shook
my
hand,
and
left
the
room.
"I
thought
about
it.
I
was
surprised
by
this
job.
I
was
happy
because
the
pay
was
good.
But
the
man
made
me
feel
uneasy.
Why
did
I
need
to
come
at
night?
Why
keep
it
secret?
I
decided
not
to
worry.
I
ate
dinner,
went
to
Paddington,
and
took
the
train.
I
told
no
one."
"At
Reading,
I
changed
trains.
I
caught
the
last
train
to
Eyford
and
arrived
after
eleven.
I
was
the
only
one
to
get
off.
A
sleepy
porter
with
a
lantern
was
there.
My
morning
friend
waited
outside.
He
took
my
arm
and
put
me
in
a
carriage.
He
closed
the
windows,
tapped
the
carriage,
and
we
left
quickly."
