They are n't at all well off ; this is the largest farm about , but it does n't bring them in much . To look at John Ford , it seems incredible he should be short of money -- he 's too large . We have family prayers at eight , then , breakfast -- after that freedom for writing or anything else till supper and evening prayers . At midday one forages for oneself . On Sundays , two miles to church twice , or you get into John Ford 's black books ... . Dan Treffry himself is staying at Kingswear . He says he 's made his pile ; it suits him down here -- like a sleep after years of being too wide-awake ; he had a rough time in New Zealand , until that mine made his fortune .
