Сторінка 78 - By this time the hounds were in full cry up the hillside. Mile after mile, over the hills we followed, now only by scent, as the dog had made good use of her time, while the hounds were hampered by people crossing the scent at the village.

Сторінка 36 - Nature,, which has ever been held to be universal and perpetual, they left their nest and eggs ; and though they made some attempts of laying again at Offley Moss, yet they were still so disturbed that they bred not at all that year.
