One whimper, and she is away full-mouthed through the wood, and the pack after her : but not I. I am not going with them. My hunting days are over. Let it suffice that I have, in the days of my vanity, " drunk delight of battle with my peers, far on the ringing plains " of many a county, grass and forest, down and vale. No, my gallant friends. You know that I could ride, if I chose; and I am vain enough to be glad that you know it. But useless are your coaxings, solicitations, wavings of honest... right hands. " Life, " as my friend Tom Brown says, " is not all beer and skittles " ; it is past two now and I have four old women to read to at three, and an old man to bury at four; and I think, on the whole, that you will respect me the more for going home and doing my duty. That I should Hke to see this fox fairly killed, or even fairly lost, I deny not. That I should like it as much as I can like any earthly and outward thing, I deny not. But sugar to one's bread and butter is not good ; and if my winter garden represent the bread and butter, then will fox-hunting stand to it in the relation of superfluous and unwholesome sugar ; so farewell ; and long may your noble sport prosper — ** the image of war with only half its danger, " to train you and your sons after, into gallant soldiers — full of " The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill.
