206 THE LIFE OF A FOXHOUND. 



'* A beautiful chaunt ! " ejaculated I, 

 pleased with the sporting rhyme, " and one 

 which shall have place in ' The Life of a Fox- 

 hound.' " 



Having doubtlessly made every note of 

 value which could be drawn from his experi- 

 ence, Ringwood's memoir here ends from 

 want of material, and the earnest disposition 

 on the part of his biographer of wishing to 

 prove neither monotonous nor wearisome. It 

 was deemed by that wise hound that a history 

 or tale, when told, should, like a fox, when 

 killed, be broken up and finished. To this, 

 therefore, we will give an appropriate one in 

 a ringing 



Who-whoop ! 



THE END.
