436 HUNTING TOURS. 



me to express all I feel this morning ; indeed, 

 it would be impossible for me to thank you 

 sufficiently for the handsome picture which 

 you have this day presented to me. I shall 

 always value it as a work of art ; but it is 

 still dearer to me as a token of the love and 

 good feeling existing between us. I wish 

 also to take this opportunity of thanking you, 

 one and all, for the great kindness I have 

 always experienced since 1 came into this 

 country, both in the hunting-field and else- 

 where. The kind way in which you allude 

 to my dear husband is very gratifying to me 

 — I am sure his lordship's great desire is to 

 live among his tenants and his friends upon 

 terms of amity and good will — and I trust 

 that the confidence and mutual good feeling 

 which has existed for so many generations 

 between the owners and occupiers of the 

 Brocklesby estate will be long continued by 

 our children's children. I again thank you 

 for your great kindness to me, and trust we 

 may all live long and happily." Bursts of 

 applause attended her ladyship's conclusion, 

 and hearty cheers were given for the youthful 

 Lord Worsley.
