Lord Helmsley, as I have already said, was one of

 their beauty, I think he was the best-looking of the

He died all too soon, and his son, a cousin of the 

 present Lord Londonderry, was Master of the Sinning- 

 ton in the later years, but met a soldier's death in the 

 war, leaving his young son to inherit the title. 



The run with the Sinnington as above described is

 Feversham was a little excited when he came upon

 reproduction of it now will do him no harm, for he was 

 a good sportsman in his day, and was only trying to 

 carry on then against the inroads of time as he in fact 

 told me.
