Larry Twentyman and Ned Botsey expressed an opinion that pheasants were predominant in Dillsborough Wood, while Mr. Runciman, the doctor, and Harry Stubbings declared loudly that everything that foxes could desire was done for them in that Elysium of sport. "We drew the wood blank last time we were there," said Larry. "Don't you remember, Mr. Runciman, about the end of last March?"
"But they say he's actually going to Lord Rufford's," said young Botsey who would have given one of his fingers to be asked to the lord's house. "They are all going from Bragton," said Runciman. "The young squire is going to ride one of my horses," said Harry Stubbings. "That'll be an easy three pounds in your pockets, Harry," said the doctor.
It was all very well, Goarly said, for Larry to be fond of gentlemen and to ride to hounds, and make pretences; but Larry liked his turkeys as well as anybody else, and Larry had put down the poison. In this matter Goarly overreached himself. No one in Dillsborough could be brought to believe that. Even Harry Stubbings was ready to swear that he should suspect himself as soon.
Botsey and Harry Stubbings; but he would not get into it, preferring to seat himself on the table at Botsey's right hand. "So Goarly was with you, Mr. Masters," Mr. Runciman began as soon as the attorney was seated. It was clear that they had all been talking about Goarly and his law-suit, and that Goarly and the law-suit would be talked about very generally in Dillsborough.

"The impudentest set of young vipers about the place," said the lady. "Look at Grice's business." Grice was the saddler. "Grice indeed! What's Grice?" "And the price of horses?" "Yes; making everything dear that ought to be cheap.
"What are they, Larry?" asked Harry Stubbings. "To offend his Lordship, or to part with the mare." "You shall do neither," said Lord Rufford; "but upon my word I think she's the fastest thing in this county." All of which did not cure poor Larry, but it helped to enable him to be a man.
The Captain was soon there, and Lord Rufford with his friends, and Harry Stubbings' string, and Tony were set in motion. But before they stirred there was a consultation, to which Bean the gamekeeper was called, as to the safety of Dillsborough Wood.
"I didn't hear nothing about it till yesterday, Captain," said Harry Stubbings, "and every foot I had fit to come out was bespoke." The groom, however, who heard this was quite aware that Mr.
"I can't understand," said Glomax, "how any man can be considered a good fellow as a country gentleman who does not care for sport. Just look at it all round. Suppose others were like him what would become of us all?" "Yes indeed, what would become of us?" asked the two Botseys in a breath. "Ho'd 'ire our 'orses, Runciman?" suggested Harry Stubbings with a laugh.
"If he didn't feel satisfied with what his lordship offered him, why couldn't he ask his lordship to refer the matter to a couple of farmers who understood it?" "It's the spirit of the thing," said Mr. Ribbs, from his place on the sofa. "It's a hodious spirit." "That's just it, Mr. Ribbs," said Harry Stubbings. "It's all meant for opposition.
