If those poor people showed a bit of initiative they could easily get out of their situation. Maybe set up a little business, have people pay money to ride their horses or pick strawberries on their land, etc. Even if they sold off about a third of their silver and invested it in a few thousand pounds worth of low-risk share options they'd be fine. That's the trouble with the poor, of course, no imagination. It's what comes of selfish parents refusing sending their children to public school, you see.
