The memory of the lost harriers was always a painful recollection, and brought its silent evidence that the fortunes of the Hamiltons were not what they were a hundred years ago. "With all my care," continued my mother, "and, as you know, I economize to the best of my judgement, and after all is done that can be done, our income barely will defray the outlay of our household."
All which was trying, coming from a fellow who had looked upon him as an oracle, and to whom he had condescended. At dinner, too, he was chaffed a little; but the hardest rider in the county, who had condescended to go out with the harriers to try a new horse, the foxhounds not meeting that day, and who was dining with Mr Gould afterwards, came to his rescue.
When Sir Harry was on a drinking-bout they were shut up altogether; and the huntsman, Tom Watchorn, late of the 'Camberwell and Balham Hill Union Harriers, an early acquaintance of Miss Spangles indeed, some said he was her uncle used to go away on a drinking excursion too.
No sooner did he join that popinjay set of fellows, the th hussars, than he turned out, what he calls a four-in-hand drag, which dragged nine hundred pounds out of my pocket then he has got a yacht at Cowes a grouse mountain in Scotland and has actually given Tattersall an unlimited order to purchase the Wreckinton pack of harriers, which he intends to keep for the use of the corps.
Hampstead won't shoot, but he can hunt with the Braeside harriers." This was the answer made by Lord Persiflage to his wife when he was told by her of that divorce which had taken place at Trafford Park, and of the departure of Lady Frances for Hendon.

'I've only bachelor 'commodation to offer you; but p'raps you'll not mind roughing it a bit? observed Romford. 'Oh, faith, not I! replied Sponge, thinking of the luxuries of Puffington's bachelor habitation. 'What sort of stables have you? asked our friend.
Should his harriers be effectually prevented from hunting he will have no farther reason for remaining in the country, and will probably shut up his house, dismiss his servants, and leave Ireland; but this he will not do until he has "had his own." ENNIS, CO. CLARE, Nov. 22nd. Ennis, on deliberate inspection, proves to be by far the most interesting western town I have yet visited.
Hare and fox, otter and badger; Wild fowl of all sorts, Partridges and pheasants, Timber and underwood roots and tops; With power to preserve the forest, And watch it against deer-stealers and others: With a right to keep hounds of all sorts, Four greyhounds and six terriers, Harriers and foxhounds, and other hounds.
They were people of limited interests, who built up barriers about their lives on all sides; social hedges which excluded all humanity but a select and very dull, uninteresting circle; intellectual walls which never admitted a stray unconventional idea; moral demarcations which nourished within them the Mammon of self-righteousness, and theological harriers which shut out the sunlight of a broad charity.
At one time there was a pack of harriers, which would lead us a fine, sharp burst by the thickets near the river after a doubling hare; but as a rule a meet at Peeprah portended death to the gallant tusker, for the jungles were full of pigs, and only honest hard work was meant when the Peeprah beaters turned out. The whole country was covered with patches of grass and thorny jungle.
