A QUIET BYE 



and when I gets home I'll write an account to 

 Bell's Life, and the Field, which nobody can 

 contradict. Hark forrard! hark forrard! hark 

 forrard ! away ! ' continued he, ramming the spurs 

 into Arterxerxes' sides, to induce him to change 

 his lumbering trot into a canter, which having 

 accomplished, Mr. Jorrocks settled himself into a 

 regular home seat in his saddle, and pounded up 

 a grass ride through the centre of the wood in a 

 perfect frenzy of delight, as the hounds worked 

 their way a little to his right with a full and 

 melodious cry. 



'Hould hard, ye sackless ould sinner!' now 

 cried Pigg, crossing the main ride at a canter, and 

 nearly knocking Jorrocks off his horse, as he 

 charged him in his stride. 'Had (hold) bye, ar 

 say ! ' he roared in his master's ear ; ' or ar '11 be 

 dingin' on ye down fox crossed reet in onder 

 husse's tail, and thou sits glowerin' there and never 

 see'd him.' 



Out went both the horns again twang! twang! 

 twang; wow! wow! wow!
