THE TEINITY FOOT BEAGLES 



Does you well. [So there was a second alteruative to B.'s mince- 

 pies.— F. C. K.] 



D. is sulky, but has come round. 



E. is an A 1 sportsman. Should be taken notice of. 



F. Ditto. In reduced circumstances. 



G. is rather a poacher. " You must not believe all you hear." i 

 H. All right. He and . . ., his tenant, are not on very good terms. 

 I. Ill-mannered dog. Laps a great deal, does nothing. 



J. has taken 's land and gives this meet. He is one of the 



best, and very good company at dinner. Verb. sajj. ! 



K. (an hotel keeper) has no longer a 

 farm. He is a very good sportsman (breeds 

 horses, etc.) and knows nearly every farmer 

 in Cambridgeshire. Should be asked to 

 lunch when you go to the Corn Exchange to 

 see the farmers. 



L. (1) Be careful. Good, but wants see- 

 ing. 



(2) I think he is a capital old chap, very 

 keen to have us. He likes to be given the 

 hare when killed, and is very pleased with a 

 present of game. His two sons are nice 

 fellows and very keen. 



I remember him myself and vote for 

 second opinion. — F. C. K. 

 M. Be careful. No manners. All right. 



N. One of the most ill-conditioned blackguards I ever met. Shot 

 our hare in front of hounds. His father was all right, but the son is 

 a devil. 



Skcond Laugest 

 Katepayer. 



O. ])e very deferential to 0., who is "second largest ratepayer 



in 



P. will give this meet. Like the rest of the litter, he's one of 

 the best. 



Q. Al chap. Pleased to see you. Very keen on breeding, 

 especially shire horses. Does you proud after hunting.
