NATURE AND SPORT IN BRITAIN 



been captured. Altogether this is a fair if not a very 

 great morning's sport. Still, it is good enough, and 

 all are well content. 



Lunch, a most pleasant alfresco meal, follows. Then 

 a rest, a pipe or two, and perchance even a nap under 

 yonder patch of shade. Afterwards a ramble along the 

 cliff towards Cuckmere Haven, and the ever-welcome 

 tea, and home. A bronzed and cheery party cycle their 

 way back together over the down road, all agreeing 

 that a more pleasant, healthful, or invigorating way of 

 passing a summer's day is not easily to be found. 



Baths and a change find us prepared for the evening 

 meal, at which a delicious hors d'oettvre in the shape of 

 a huge dish of brilliant scarlet prawns is not the least 

 attractive feature. Fresh cooked prawns, by the way, 

 are at least fifty per cent, better eating than prawns 

 bought from the slab of a fishmonger's shop, where 

 they have been stewing probably during the greater 

 part of a July or August day.
