course : " We understand that a marriage is arranged, and 

 will shortly take place, between Mr. Thomas Beverley, of 

 Beverley Hall, the popular Master of the Hawthorn Dale 

 Foxhounds, and Lady Winifred Hainton, youngest daughter 

 of the Earl and Countess of Eoxton."

 though many a good run has been seen from Tom-tit Wood 

 and Rapsley Gorse, they never forget the day when a bearded 

 stranger in a tweed suit swam the Thissendine, and killed 

 their fox for them near the earths on Birkett Hill.
