ack and the pace is slow. At such times let
me counsel you to retire somewhat from the crowd, giving place to those
eager men who are breaking the huntsman's heart. When the hounds have
come nearer to their fox, and the pace is again good, then they will
retire and make room for you.

Not behind hounds, but alongside of them, if only you can achieve such
position, it should be your honour and glory to place yourself; and you
should go so far wide of them as in no way to impede them or disturb
them, or even to remind them of your presence. If thus you live with
them, turning as they turn, but never turning among them, keeping your
distance, but losing no yard, and can do this for seven miles over a
grass country in forty-five minutes, then you can ride to hounds better
than nineteen men out of every twenty that you have seen at the meet,
and will have enjoyed the keenest pleasure that hunting, or perhaps, I
may say, that any other amusement, can give you.
