 fox is to them quite as much an acquired taste 

 as are olives to us, and if a young hound could 

 speak, he would tell us that it was not because 

 he liked it that he ate it, but because it seemed 

 to be the proper thing to do, and also because 

 if he had not eaten it, other hounds would 

 have. Back again into covert they went, and 

 quickly found again. This cub was a bolder 

 young gentleman than his brother, and gallantly 

 breaking, gave them a pretty little spin of seven 

 minutes, being eventually run into on the bank 

 of the pool. Yet another cub paid the penalty, 

 and the sun now being high in the heavens, 

 and s6ent completely failing, home was the 

 word.
