Echoes of the Hunting Horn 



consider, is discipline brought to a fine art. Anyone who 

 has had the experience of endeavouring to inculcate a 

 sense of decency into an unmannerly family terrier may 

 realize the amount of attention and patience which a 

 kennel-man must devote to his task before he has his 

 charges under such control. The hunt staff are therefore 

 not idle during the summer, for discipline is a slowly- 

 acquired virtue; and the roistering puppies of this 

 season must emerge as the perfectly-mannered fox- 

 hounds of the next.
