cheap hunter, when hounds run, than the lord-lieutenant 

 on a five-hundred guinea one. The smallest farmer 

 can ride clean away from the biggest landlord, provided 

 he is the better man. 



Money tells in providing good hunters, but it 

 also provides French cooks and too many luxuries, and 

 that soon takes away the nerve to make use of them. 

 To really enjoy hunting, we must keep ourselves fit 

 and hard. 



There is no sport like it on this old earth of 

 ours, and I often think of the remark made to me by 

 an enthusiast I met in Rio Janeiro, of all strange 

 places: "I have been over a great deal of the world," 

 said he, "in search of sport, but when all is said 

 and done, give me the little stinking fox."
