Our half- holidays were frequently spent in hunting rabbits on some land belonging to Mr. Richard Lid better, known as the " Baron of Bramber, " a generous and very witty old gentleman, who ki...ndly gave us permission. Mr. Airey firmly believed in the cane and the birch, which he used rather freely, and these, and the hope of obtaining one of the prizes given at the end of each half-year, kept us well up to our work.
