And
Capper
was
a
very
important
man.
He
was
the
knocker-up
in
the
village
of
Polkingthorpe
Brig
—
that
is
to
say,
he
got
up
early
every
morning
and
went
round
with
his
pole,
tapping
on
the
bedroom
windows
and
waking
up
the
people
in
time
for
them
to
get
to
work...
Old
Capper
got
his
long
pole
with
the
trident
of
wire
at
the
end
and
lifting
it
so
that
the
wire
rested
against
the
upstairs
window
pane,
began
twirling
and
twisting
the
pole
in
the
palms
of
his
hands
so
that
the
wire
clacked
and
clattered
fit
to
wake
the
soundest
sleeper...
So
they
stood
round
old
Capper,
who
