where I think the fox got into some of the buildings. 

 Isobel rode Mary Muster's horse, 



1 6th. — The Belvoir were at Welford village. 

 Hard frost and thick fog. We went on, but 

 Knowles did not send on a horse for me. Miss 

 Musters sent on " Bruno " for Isobel, but it was no 

 use. Hounds came about one o'clock, and went 

 home again. We had lunch with Tommy Burns 

 and his wife at a small public. 



On the morning of the 17th there was an earth- 

 quake. All the washing crockery rattled and woke 

 us. We left Wiverton, slept at Roxburgh Hotel, 

 Edinburgh, and home next day.
