A ghost still haunts the spot. Lady Howard, once the supremely wicked mistress, in a coach of bones, or bones herself, I have forgotten which, but anyway, something very dreadful to see, travels each night from Tavistock to pick a blade of grass; this task she must per- form until all the grass at Okehampton is plucked. What she did to deserve this fate, except to be just wicked, no one in Okehamp- ton seems to know, but she has been very badly talked about for the last couple of cen- turies, a...nd she certainly has a hard task before her. Under Yes Tor, the most noted of Dart- 61 Among English Inns moor's rocky piles, is a camp where all the great artillery practice goes on. The noise of the big guns booms over the entire moorland district, making certain parts of it rather dan- gerous for excursionists, but there are warning notices in plenty. The ride home with a coach-load of soft- tongued Chagford folk was delightful. They made great jokes with the driver about the sober coach steeds, of whom he took the great- est care, never urging them at any time, and putting them down the hills slowly with the aid of a heavy brake.
