CHAPTER XII. 



"To whom nought comes amiss — 

 One horse or another — that country or this ; 

 Who through bad falls, and bad starts, undauntedly still. 

 Rides up to the motto " be with them I will." 



LORD HENRY VANE TEMPEST and Lord Herbert 

 both hunted with us ; I always thought Lord Henry 

 was one of the boldest of men I ever saw ; he never turned 

 his head at anything, and always seemed to be in the front 

 wherever we were; he had many a fall but was always up again 

 and coming on, and was a wonderfully lucky man for seeing 

 good runs with the South Durham, and seemed to bring us 

 good sport always when he stayed at Wynyard. The last day 

 of hunting that he had with us in Mr. Harvey's last season 

 was in the Great Stainton country ; after running several 

 rings round and round for an hour and forty-five minutes, 

 we killed a fox in Elstob covert, just in the corner of the 

 covert. Lord Henry jumped down, went neck and crop over 

 the rails into the whins, and brought out the fox, which 

 finished his hunting season in 1878. He would handle 

 the fox first if he could when the hounds killed, and I 

 remember him jumping up to his neck into a stell in the 

 Carrs after one and bringing it out in his arms near Wild
