HOME DETAILS 241 



how, I can honestly say that since giving up the 

 stable and devoting myself to the farm, I feel 

 twenty years younger than I did ; while up to the 

 present the stable is having a very fairly successful 

 season, and I am glad to say Mr. Buchanan seems 

 to have struck a vein of better luck than had 

 hitherto been his. 



For myself, I must now bid good-bye to old 

 friends, and — I hope — new, who may happen to 

 read this book ; and in doing so I trust that the 

 allotted span of all of us will permit us to meet 

 again many times in the coming years.
