Synopsis
Excerpt from Professor Pin
N o modern atrocities of pump-stock or chain had ever been allowed to invade the sacred depths of the Britton well. Overhead was a large wooden cylinder, wound with yards of three-quarter inch Manila cable and turned by a crank. Up, up, with a squeak of the handle and plashing drip, came the historic, iron-bound bucket, to be rested on the high curb and tipped to the hired man's thirsty lips.
After drinking, the hired man carefully emp tied the water remaining into the drain, and wound the bucket up against the cylinder. This was always the Britton way, and Britton wavs were like the laws of the Medes and Persians; hired man or hired maid, neighbor, guest or friend followed those ways, or knew no Britton favor.
