Of the Sportsman, I don't think it is too much to say, that it is the best sporting paper in the world, not excepting the Field, and it fully deserves the supreme authority which it exercises over all sporting matters south of the line. Yachting, rowing, coursing, pigeon-shooting, hunting, shooting, football, and lawn-tennis all come in for a small share.
A stout figure, hitherto unperceived, rose from a corner and came silently toward them Mrs. Breitmann. She beckoned to them, and they followed her into a room on the same floor, where she told them what she knew, heedless of the tears coursing ceaselessly down her cheeks. It seemed that Mrs. Garvin had had a premonition which she had not wholly confided to the rector.
She bit her lip and faced me there, a sweet flushed living thing, with a tear coursing down her cheek, and her mouth now firm and steady. "You can stop this divorce?" I said, "But how, Mary?" "No, don't ask me how. At a price. It's a bargain. No, no! Don't think that, a bargain with Justin, but not degrading. Don't, my dear, let the thought of it distress you.

The seal soon showed that he could not only run for a short distance faster than they could, but that he could keep at the same speed for a longer time. "This beats coursing," cried Peter Patch. "The creature will give us as good a chase as a hare. If we had but some dogs it would be fine fun. We must have run a couple of miles already."
Nor was there any sympathy manifested, when a few moments afterwards Sir Giles was raised from the ground by the pursuivants, and his helmet being removed, exhibited a countenance livid as death, with a stream of blood coursing slowly down the temples.
He was preparing a way for her; she was coming back to a great career, a glorious mission; her bright soul would shine like a star; she would see that he had been right, and faithful, and then then But it was like wine coursing through his veins he could not think of it.

He opened the door for the child with the quiet face and shining eyes. Gravely he salaamed as she entered the carriage. Through the open window she held out a tiny hand. "I hope you will come and see me," she said.
And there I saw by hundreds their shivered weapons, ornaments, limbs, and mail. And the horses could not find room for moving from one place to another; and on a sudden with a bound, they fell to coursing in the sky.
