My younger brother and sister were taken in by my kindly Uncle George and Aunty Mary. My mother was sold for 10 shillings as a bonded labourer, to a farmer who lives near High Wycombe, I, because I had been to day school and am able to read and write, fetched 12 shillings. I had hoped that I might be sold to a printer in London, instead, I was sold to a Miller who has a windmill close to Beaconsfield why, I don't know, there were others bigger and stronger than me and they only fetched a few shillings each. Until the carrier took us up to High Wycombe, we stayed in Uncle George's already overcrowded house...
