To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Take, for instance, his drive with Dick Christian in 'Silk and Scarlet. ' He gives to everything he hears from others a visible flash of life and character which makes it, as it were, fasten upon the eye as you read. Some- times, perhaps, he relates what he would have liked to hear in addition to what he heard. When his admirers gave him a dinner in 1859, Charles Davis himself told them o ^ THE NEW SCHOOL 49 circumstantially about this ' unfortunate gentleman's ' fate, and how from that time on..., two yeomen prickers with pistols always accompanied George III. 's carriage back to Windsor. But as he gives no colour to this being a personal remi- niscence, I must reject with regret a legend which it would have pleased me to preserve. The arrival of the Goodwood Hounds at Ascot started a new period in stag-hunting. From this time stag-hunting of the present day may be said to date. The old order changed in many ways. Up till the end of the century the Royal yeomen prickers all carried French horns, which we may be sure they wound pretty frequently, and a great musicianing went on when the deer was first uncarted, ' an awfully impressive prelude, ' says our chronicler.
