HUNTS WITH JORROCKS 



4 Keep the tambourine a-roulin' ! ' exclaimed 

 Pigg, who had been reining in his horse to hear 

 his master bounce. 



' Yooi doit ! there, Warrior ! ' added he, with 

 a crack of his whip to a hound that was leading 

 others out of ear-shot. 



* There's a fine 'ound,' observed Mr. Jorrocks, 

 again arresting the great man's attention, by 

 pointing out old Ravager, now trotting singly 

 along the footpath. 



6 You '11 most likely be wishin' to say summut 

 soapy and plisant 'bout the pack, and you can't 

 lay it too thick on to him Ravager, by Lord Yar- 

 borough's Rallywood out of his Ringlet. Would 

 gladly give fifty guineas a couple for a few more 

 sich. That's a nice dog too, Fugleman,' pointing 

 a speckled black and white one out. * Fugleman, 1 

 by the Beaufort Potentate out of Foljambe's 

 Frantic; so's that,' pointing to a mealy-coloured 

 hound; 'Dorimont, by Drake's Duster out of 

 the Belvoir Blameless. Dorimont ! old bouy ! ' 



1 All gammon ! They were some of Bugginson's lot.
