FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER
It is the greatest mistake in the world to imagine that, because the Five Towns is an industrial district devoted to the manufacture of cups and saucers, marbles, and door-knobs, therefore there is no luxury in it. A writer, not yet deceased, who spent two nights there, and wrote four hundred pages about it, has committed himself to the assertion that there are no private carriages in its streets, only perambulators and tram-cars. That writer’s reputation is ruined in the Five Towns. For the Five Towns, although continually complaining of bad times, is immensely wealthy, as well as immensely poor, a country of contrasts, indeed, and private carriages, if they do not abound, exist, at any rate, in sufficient numbers. Nay, more, automobiles of the most expensive French and English makes fly dashingly along its hilly roads and scatter in profusion the rich black mud thereof. On a Saturday afternoon, last spring, such an automobile stood outside the garden entrance of Bleakridge House, just half way between Hanbridge and Bursley.
