Summary/Abstract: The daughter of one of our nearby neighbours committed suicide. Male farm servants who are weary of life normally put an end to it by hanging themselves, the women and girls by jumping into a well. No other methods were usual. Even here they strictly preserved some tradition of propriety. The girl had “gone up” to the manor-house; this is why she killed herself.
