Excerpt from Memories of the Shires
Pessimists with gloomy faces will tell you that hunting is at an end, and that the fox will Soon be extinct; but I am firmly convinced that the sport will rise triumphant from the ashes of the past, and with a brighter future will become established on a broader basis. Although many good sports men have been killed, there are still plenty left, and many more growing up.
This appears to me to be the ideal moment to redeem my long-delayed promise to the publishers and to chat over the past - the five and thirty years preceding the war.
