204 " MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE ! " 



Yorkshire Herald and signed " Joseph Rawlinson 

 Battersby." I have not a copy by me, but it was suffi- 

 ciently bombastic, and maybe Galvayne did not like it. 



I feel desperately inclined to linger over experiences of 

 those early hunting days, especially over really glorious 

 runs with Jack Parker and the Sinnington, when the then 

 Lord Helmsley used to go like a pigeon, and his father, 

 Lord Feversham, was panic-stricken at the way in which 

 his son and heir rode. A run from Gilling Wood to Seamer 

 Wood is accurately described in Blair Athol, the names 

 of those concerned being only slightly disguised. There 

 let it remain, for I have not space to reproduce it here, 

 lovely experience though it was. I have got through more 

 than half this book before I was twenty-three.
