JORROCKS ON ^UNTING 



conclude they are new comers, and ax where 

 they are from. Rich coloured 'ounds you may 

 liken to the Belvoir, and then you can talk of 

 Goodhall and Guider, or of the Quorn True- 

 man, or even go back as far as Furrier and 

 Hosbaldeston ; and swear you never saw sich 

 legs and feet ; in short, let legs and feet, or legs 

 and loins, be the burthen of your song. Beware 

 of callin' 'ounds dogs, or sterns tails. Sich a 

 slip would make the M.F.H. turn tail on you 

 directly. 



** It looks werry knowin' to take a bit o' 

 biscuit out of your pocket, as you are lookin' 

 over the 'ounds, and make them rise on their 

 hind legs to receive it, while you scrutinise 

 them werry attentively. This is a most scientific 

 proceedin' and will immediately stamp you 

 as a werry knowin' 'and, if not for an M.F.H. 

 himself. Still let your talk be of legs and loins, 

 with an occasional mention of helbows and 

 shoulders. Perfection ! symmetry ! 'andsome ! 

 level ! bone ! breedin' ! condition ! Lord
