Excerpt from All's Well, or Alice's Victory Emmet was an older woman than either Alice or Collet, being nearly fifty years of age. She too carried a bundle, though not of so formidable a Size. Both had been to Cranbrook, then the centre of the cloth working industry, and its home long before the days of machinery. There were woven the solid grey broad cloths which gave to the men of the Weald the title of the grey-coats of Kent. From all the villages round about, the factory-hands were recruited. The old factories had stood from the days when Edward III. And his Flemish Queen brought over the weavers of the Netherlands to improve the English manufactures, and some of them stand yet, turned into ancient re sidences for the country squires who had large stakes in them in the old days, or peeping out here and there in the principal streets of the town, in the form of old gables and other antique adornments.
