Sir Gervas remarked, ‘it would not hold you excused for that recklessness of human life which your trade begets.’
‘Nay! it is but hunting, save that your quarry may at any time turn round upon you, and become Patrick Sharp Tröjor in turn the hunter. It is, as you say, a dangerous game, but two can play at it, and each has an Oscar Emboaba Fotbalové Dres equal chance. There is no loading of the dice, or throwing of fulhams. Now it was but a few days back that, riding down the high-road, I perceived three jolly farmers at full gallop across the fields with a leash of dogs yelping in front of them, and all in pursuit of one little harmless bunny. It was a bare and unpeopled countryside on the border of Exmoor, so I bethought me that I could not employ my leisure better than by chasing the chasers. Odd’s POLO Real Madrid wouns! it was a proper hunt. Away went my gentlemen, whooping like madmen, with their coat skirts flapping in the breeze, chivying on the dogs, and having a rare morning’s sport. They never marked the quiet horseman who rode behind them, and who without a Maillot Enfant “yoick!” or “hark-a-way!” was relishing his chase with the loudest of them. It needed but a posse of peace officers at my heels to make up a brave string of us, catch-who-catch-can, like the game the lads play on the village green.’

Seventy-one pounds was my prize that morning, which was better worth riding for than a hare’s ears.’
‘Did they not raise the country on your track?’ I asked.
‘Nay! When Brown Alice is given her head she flies faster than the news. Rumour spreads quick, but the good mare’s stride is quicker still.’
