November 25th. — 



The fog was so thick that we doubted 

 whether the Master would throw off or not ; 

 he determined, however, to do so, and, the fog 

 lifting a little as we moved from Stourton Inn 

 to Norwood, enabled us to see that cover 

 drawn blank, and Bagmore also. Back in 

 Stourton Wood two were at home, and the fog 

 as well, so the hounds were soon whipped off, 

 and heavy was the rain that accompanied us 

 home. 



November 26th. — 



Nor was the weather much more inviting 

 when a small field met at Five Bridges. This 

 select few, however, were cheered by a pretty 

 hunting run from Nyland over the Cale River to 

 Temple Lane, thence to Kington Magna, and, 

 bearing left, nearly to the Temple Lane Bridge 

 over the South Western Railway, along the side 

 of the road nearly to Buckhorn Weston, and, 

 turning left again, to Rodgrove, in which cover, 

 after a deal of patient hunting, our fox was 

 killed at the end of about an hour and a quarter.
