THE HUNTING FIELD 



have a mortal horror of the idea of a pack of hounds, 

 imagining that if they once get into a cover they will 

 destroy every living thing in it. On this occasion, 

 however, those that were out found great fault with 

 the chiens Anglais, asserting they were good for 

 nothing, for they would neither hunt hares, rabbits, 

 nor rats.
