At the table
Pays a water carter a retainer, which Bray calls the best value in the company book; Bray declined a commission touching the spring in 4616 without asking what it was. Bray prefers to take the owner's side in four-party matters; took association work for a whole season in its first year and would not change it; has taken two unseen-work commissions from a mission woman at a loss. Travels by road and sends findings by rail. Its best county contacts were made at the Chalk Marden cross; Bray's rule is that Sarrum is worked by being useful and the towns by being correct.
