Unfortunately, Childermass's French was so strongly accented by his native Yorkshire that Minervois did not understand and asked Strange if Childermass was Dutch.

Strange bent over these things, with a concentration to rival Minervois's own, questioning, criticizing and proposing. Strange and the two engravers spoke French to each other.

A number of factors contribute to the sustained demand for rented accommodation in Yorkshire. The burgeoning student population of Englands largest county, with major universities at Sheffield, Hull, Leeds and York, among others, underpin demand for rented properties. Many students, after graduation, remain in the county and as first jobbers look for shared accommodation with their friends in the major towns. An important demographic trend that has sustained the growth of the private rented sector over the past decade or so has been the tendency for young people to leave the family home at a fairly young age to go on to further education and not return. In addition, there has been a net influx of jobs in some parts of Yorkshire which has helped create a requirement for more rented homes.
