a bit, but, not feeling quite as comfortable 

 there as usual, he again left his home, leading 

 at first, as before, towards Thornford and nearly 

 to Clifton Wood ; but we had a check by the 

 railway, and did not hit the line off very 

 quickly, so that he was probably well a-head of 

 us when we crossed the river by Bradford Mill. 

 We made an unsatisfactory line on by Potters 

 Lease, heading for Nether Compton, but to no 

 purpose, and gave up at the end of about two 

 hours.

Found us some way from home, at Pennard 

 House, and also found a fox waiting for us at 

 Cockmill, who, having shown us that he was 

 there, immediately retired underground. A few 

 more covers, including Ditcheat Gorse, were 

 drawn, and also Hornblotton, without success. 

 A brace, however, were in West Wood, and we 

 ran one of them right merrily to South Wood, 

 whence he swung out right-handed, and we ran 

 him through Lattisham and Parbrook to Bradley, 

 and lost at West Pennard, and then home.
