Questions 21-25
I got used, too. To my employer’ s violent changes of front. There was one morning when Siegfried came down to breakfast, rubbing a hand wearily over red-rimmed eyes.
‘ Out at 2 a.m.,’ he groaned, buttering his toast listlessly. ‘ And I don’ t like to have to say this, James, but it’ s all your fault.’
‘ My fault?’ I said, startled.
‘ Yes lad, your fault. The farmer has a sick cow for several days and at 2 o’ clock this morning he finally decided to call the vet. When I pointed out it could have waited a few hours more he said Mr. Herriot told him never to hesitate to ring— he’ d come out any hour of the day or night.’
He tapped the top of his egg as though the effort was almost too much for him. ‘ Well, it’ s all very well being conscientious and all that, but if a thing has waited several days it can wait till morning. You’ re spoiling these chaps, James, and I’ m getting the backwash of it. I’ m sick and tired of being dragged out of bed for trifles.’
‘ I’ m truly sorry, Siegfried. I honestly had no wish to do that to you. Maybe it’ s just my inexperience. If I didn’ t go out, I’ d be worried the animal might die. If I left it till morning and it died, how would I feel?’
‘ That’ s all right,’ snapped Siegfried. ‘ There’ s nothing like a dead animal to bring them to their senses. They’ ll call us out a bit earlier next time.’
I absorbed this bit of advice and tried to act on it. A week later, Siegfried said he wanted a word with me.
‘ James, I know you won’ t mind my saying this, but old Sumner was complaining to me today. He says he rang you the other night and you refused to come out to his cow. He’ s a good client, you know, and a very nice fellow, but he was quite shirty about it. We don’ t want to lose a chap like that.’
‘ But it was just a chronic mastitis,’ I said ‘ A bit of thickening in the milk, that’ s all. He’ d been dosing it himself for nearly a week with some quack remedy. The cow was eating all right, so I thought it would be quite safe to leave it till next day.’

Siegfried put a hand on my shoulder and an excessively patient look spread over his face. I steeled myself. I didn’ t mind his impatience, I was used to it and could stand it. But the patience was hard to take.
‘ James,’ he said in a gentle voice, ‘ there is one fundamental rule in our job which transcends all others, and I’ ll tell you what it is. YOU MUST ATTEND. That is it and it ought to be written on your soul in letters of fire.’

Questions 26-30
Most towns up to Elizabethan times were smaller than a modern village and each of them was built around its weekly market where local produce was brought for sale and the townsfolk sold their work to the people from the countryside and provided them with refreshment for the day. Trade was virtually confined to that one day even in a town of a thousand or so people. On market days craftsmen put up their stalls in the open air whilst on one or two other days during the week the townsman would pack up his loaves, or nails, or cloth, and set out early to do a day’
