David's job was in the slate quarry found at Altarstone Farm in Merlindale Stobo Valley adjacent to Manor Valley. David had no length of shank leg, his feet where renown to be exceptionally large, he found it impossible to find shoes to fit, and used sackcloth instead, his walk  was a laboured shuffle, deep heather had to be avoided. David was well scholared and had a number of classic books in his collection, Sir Walter Scott and the Chamber Brothers amongst others, recognised his Divine role as the improbable Crooked keeper character  of the Golden Bow Leg, mundane daily life blinds our rich historical past, the testy yet humble David had reason to be irritable, he was a Garden tender to the House of the Beloved, and did not suffer fools lingering out of time gladly.

Wikopedia states A hob is a type of small mythological Household spirit found in the  North of England, but especially so,  on the  Anglo-Scottish Border Regions  according to traditional folklore.  They could live inside the house or outdoors. They are said to work in farmyards and thus could be helpful, however if offended they could become nuisances. The usual way to dispose of a hob was to give them a set of new clothing, the receiving of which would make the creature leave forever. It could however be impossible to get rid of the worst hobs.
