of a good exercise gallop, and was pulling right 

 up to the finish.' 



' I think he is too good to hunt,' said Acton ; 

 * there is no telling how good he is/ 



' Well, now, I don't agree with you there at 

 all. Surely, to be really brilliantly carried bang 

 to the tail of hounds in such a gallop as we had 

 to-day is as good as winning any steeplechase 

 in the world ; better, I think.' 



' I can't go so far as that,' said Acton. 

 ' Fond as I am of a gallop, I do like it between 

 the flags.' 



^ That is just the difference between you 

 and me. I ride to hunt, and you hunt to ride. 

 Why, I can enjoy a run of three hours, even if 

 hounds don't go any faster than you can kick 

 your hat. That is, if I am hunting them myself.' 



' Yes, I suppose you are right. I like 

 hounds, but suppose it is really only because 

 they furnish me with the excuse to gallop and 

 jump over other people's land and fences. 

 However, if there were no differences of opinion 

 there would be no fancy waistcoats.'
