The Revells had been tenants of leasehold land at Higham and Shirland for nearly a hundred years when nine years ago, upon the expiration of the lease, the Earl repossessed his land. John Revell, the father, lived on for six or seven years without complaining. At the request of friends and to protect him from his sister Eleanor and an uncle, the Earl took John Revell the younger as a servant. He now sends him up to disprove the suggestion of idiocy. John Revell, however, has been brought up rather as a husbandman than as a gentleman and so may be bashful.
