CHAPTER I. 



" At Doncaster, at York, and Leeds, 

 And merry Carlisle had he been ; 

 And all along the lowlands fair, 

 All through the bonny shire of Ayr ; 

 And far as Aberdeen. 



" And he had seen Caernarvon's towers, 

 And well he knew the spire of Sarum, 

 And he had been where Lincoln's bell 

 Flings o'er the fen that ponderous knell — 

 His far renowned alarum !"

ELLMAN OF GLYNDE loved a day with his 

 lemon-and-white beagles. If a hare beat him 

 at nightfall he would mark with a stick the spot 

 where they last spoke to her, and return there first 

 thing next morning. How he dealt with " the situ- 

 ation" in the early dews we know not. This we do 

 know, that when another summer found us in cannie 

 Cumberland, to take up our " field and fern" tale for 

 England, our first impulse was to cast back over the 

 Border.
