A testament to Buck, a recently deceased shoemaker/poacher known to Bates as a child.
Buck exemplified the traits captured in Bates's novel The Poacher and mentioned as well in the autobiographical The Vanished World: remarkable athletic abilities, a rich and spontaneous humour, and a tenderness with children.
