But the Soon-er, having pre-empt-ed the land on which the Man from Yes-ter-day must work, So he work-ed in-dust- charg-ed him rent every time he was in-dust- ri-ous. E-vent-u-al-ly, when the Man from Yes-ter- day had raised all the po-ta-to-es the Soon-er could eat, the Soon-er gave him no-tice to quit.
