GLT-1
The Big Man
A made man — made, not born; the Register is advised the distinction matters
- Name
- He was asked. He considered the clerk for some while, and the clerk has entered the question as withdrawn.
- Place of Birth
- Not applicable.
- Manner of Making
- ———— ———— ———— ———— ————
- Arrived
- The year is not entered. The roof he arrived through has been mended.
- Present Trade
- Carries what other men cannot. The yards pay him day-rates and ask no questions, which suits all parties. He is a man of few words and kept promises, and the stone he splits does not argue either.
- Expert Testimony
- A housemaid of the parish, asked for her assessment of the gentleman, observed that “being born, it really does make all the difference.” The Register has entered this under expert testimony, there being no better authority available.
- Came down through the roof of a great hall one night, uninvited, whereby a ceremony then in progress was not completed. Left on foot, with a young lady, by the door — the Register notes the courtesy. See the picture, “The Unquiet”.
Entered in the Register the — day of ————, the year left open at his request.
Examined & found true — Parish Clerk
