THE MISSED MEET 163 



With hammering drum on lane and loam, and pattering 



feet as light as foam, 

 And crop-thong's whistling bang, 

 At last the hounds met HARBOTTLE, SILLITOE, 

 GRIGGS and BRIGGS and BULLER-BROWN, and GRUMBY 

 on the grey. 



" Good-night," the Huntsman cried, " Good-night ! Been 

 with the Harriers, eh ? All right, 



You've missed a clinking day " 



But raving home went HARBOTTLE, SILLITOE, 

 GRIGGS and BRIGGS and BULLER-BROWN, and GRUMBY 

 on the grey.
