Mordaunt. Do not the Misses Mordaunt ride?" "Never to hounds," answered the matron. "They ride with, their father constantly, and when they are in London they ride in the park; but Mr. Mordaunt would not allow his daughters to appear in the hunting-field." Lydia's face flushed crimson with anger; but her anger changed to delight when Lionel Dale came to the rescue.
"Yet the top-boots Stirn never wears top-boots." "No more do you, except in the hunting-field. If you look again, those are not tops, they are leggings, Stirn wears leggings.
And Richard Carew, distrusting his own ears and far more upset than he would ever for a moment admit, remembered that he had seen just that look on the face of Peter's mother when he had had to break to her that her husband had been killed in the hunting-field a look of desperate finality and unswerving resolve.
He went on shrugging and kicking up his heels. 'Girls like pugs, I remarked. 'I fancy they do, said Temple, with a snort of indifference. Then I suggested, 'A pocket-knife for the hunting-field is a very good thing. 'Do you think so? was Temple's rejoinder, and I saw he was dreadfully afraid of my speaking the person's name for whom it would be such a very good thing.
"The hunting-field is not the council tent," he said. "The Pale-faces will go with us to our village." Of course Joe was too glad to agree to this proposal, but he now deemed it politic to display a little firmness. "We cannot go till our rifle is restored.

They drew blank in a wood above the first kill, but finally found after considerable delay along a stubbly stretch of ground bordering Baronmead, a large estate that the eldest Errol had just bought. The fox headed straight for the Baronmead woods and after him streamed the hunt pell-mell along a stony valley.
In an instant I was wild with remorse and grief. I seized a chair and sent it crashing into the hallway to attract attention. To this noise I added my voice, and yelled for help with lungs that had aroused the echoes on many a hunting-field. There were whisperings below, and apparently a hurried consultation, and then a young woman came mincing up the stairs.
It had been a scene of triumph, and deserved commemoration. The body of the panther lay across the path. His shining skin was a trophy not to be despised; and, dismounting on the spot, with my hunting-knife I secured it. I could point to it with pride as the first spoil obtained in my new hunting-field; but I should prize it still more, as the memento of a far sweeter sentiment.
