HUNTING. 



CHAPTER VI. 



HUNTING-GEAB. — NECESSARY REGARD FOR SAFE 



SHOEING. DRIVE TO THE MEET. SCENE ON 



ARRIVING. A WORD WITH THE HUNTSMAN. 



A GOOD PILOT. THE COVERT SIDE. DIS- 

 APPOINTMENT. — A LONG TROT. 



Now that you are thoroughly at home on your 

 saddle — in the park, on the road, and over the 

 country — you are doubtless longing to display 

 your prowess in the hunting-field, and thither 

 we shall have much pleasure in accompanying 

 you. 



Your outfi.t will be the first thing to con- 

 sider ; and do not be alarmed when I tell you 

 that it will require a little more generosity on 

 the part of papa than you have hitherto called 

 upon him to exercise.
