The balance of the story carries through the next two generations- and a changing England- and ends with Maude, his granddaughter, making her own choice - as he had made his. The story of their escape of the years of direst poverty and oppression of the trammels society placed upon the poor - and of a love that lasted all his life, even when Fortune turned the other cheek, and too late for Kate to share it, her Martin became a rich wool merchant, laying foundations of his own house. His feudal lord would have none of it and claimed his droit de seigneur - and that was all Martin needed. For my part, I liked best the first third of the book, in which Martin Reed, serf and only half aware of the possibility of taking matters into his own hands, made the mistake of falling in love with Kate.
