WILD SPORT IN BRITTANY. 101 



The chasse, and the arrangements consequent therefrom, fully 

 occupied St. Prix and the peasants till the hour of three in the 

 afternoon j and then, as the ardour of man and hounds had 

 been somewhat chilled by a heavy snow-storm that blackened 

 the sky and whitened the ground, the Louvetier announced his 

 intention of returning to Gourin without further disturbing the 

 cover a move that, considering the day's sport and the busy 

 work expected on the morrow with the Count de Kergoorlas's 

 hounds, seemed to give general satisfaction.
