From the first of August till the end of May I never have a day to myself, what with cubbing and then the season, and entering the young hounds, and buying and selling horses, by George I'm at it the whole year." "A Master of Hounds looks for that, Captain," said the innkeeper. "Looks for it! Yes; he must look for it. But I wouldn't mind that, if I could get gentlemen to pull a little with me.
You're just the sweetest old darling in the world, and I'd go to Kamschatka with you gladly in fact, anywhere anywhere except South Africa. Can't we go somewhere together, just you and I? Let's go to Jamaica. I'm sure I can afford it." "No, no, no!" protested the Colonel. "Get away with you, you baggage! What are you thinking of? Miss the cubbing season? Not I. And not you either, if I know you.
He might have stopped for a day's cubbing but he did not; he might have crossed the preceding evening but he had not. He merely went on board the "Connaught," and had an early lunch, which, in all conscience, was a very normal proceeding. There were a few soldiers on board, but for the most part the passengers consisted of civilians, with a heavy percentage of women and children.
Jorrocks tells us that, "Some come to see, others to be seen; some for the ride out, others for the ride 'ome; some for happetites, some for 'ealth; some to get away from their wives, and a few to 'unt." Our tyro who is enjoying her cubbing will be wise to take a back place on the opening day of the season, and thus avoid being jostled by the mighty crowd she will see on a Kirby Gate day.
In the Anahuar, Cordillieres, and Rocky Mountains, it disdains to fly, becomes more majestic in its movements, and faces its opponents, from the grizzly bear to a whole company of traders; yet it will seldom attack unless when cubbing. In Senora and California it is even more ferocious. When hungry, it will hunt by the scent, like the dog, with its nose on the ground.
He turned his back and shut his eyes. "Cubbing?" replied Glennie; "hardly." "Never could shee anything wonderful in her looks," went on the Commodore; "so quiet, you never knew that she was in the room. I remember sayin' to her once, 'Mrs. Lutheran, now what do you like besht in all the world? and what do you think she answered? 'Music! Haw!"
He generously admitted the temptation endured in seeing hounds get away with a good fox on a day devoted to cubbing, and even went so far as to suggest that possibly Captain Clarke "Hamilton-Clarke," said the Inspector. "Had ridden so hard in order to stop them." "Er quite so," said the Inspector. Something caused the dressing-room door to rattle, and Captain Hamilton-Clarke grew rather red.
"He helped me once when I was out cubbing, and I went to his house. After that when he heard that I had nothing to live on he came and asked me if I would marry him. And I was very miserable because nobody wanted me. So I said 'Yes." Her voice sank. Her lips were quivering. "I wanted you," Hugh said. She was silent. He bent slowly towards her, looking into her eyes.
This may seem an over-statement when it is recorded that their next meeting was at 7 a.m. at a cubbing meet of the hounds, which occurred on the morning following on Larry's discovery that the entrée to Paradise had been his for the asking; it is, however, no more than the truth.
This was not cubbing, and no one knew it better than Nora; but the sight of Carnage among the prophets Carnage, whose noblest quarry hitherto had been the Mount Purcell turkey-cock overthrew her scruples.
