NOSE AND TONGUE 



with nose, here again we expose a fallacy. To 

 hunt and kill the stout foxes on the fells, hounds 

 must possess nose, drive, pace, and courage to 

 a remarkable degree. That the fell hounds 

 possess such qualities is amply attested to 

 by the number of foxes they account for each 

 season, yet these same hounds are equally good 

 at questing for a drag, or hunting a cold line.
