Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flowers of the Hunt: With Fourth Illustrations by the Author, Including Twenty Full-Page Sketches Said an old Etonian to me the other day: "In my time (and I dare say yours) there was always one particular boy in the school noted for the habitual possession of a worse hat than any of his fellows´." In my day a youth named Mc - was the celebrity in that way. His head-gear was invariably something dreadful to contemplate. When, therefore, he appeared one day at "absence" in the school-yard, wearing an apparently bran-new "tile," with a lustre upon it that "The Glossy Peer" himself might have been proud of, he created quite a sensation amongst his friends of the Remove. Finally, Doctor Hawtrey, dandiest of pedagogues, noticed the circumstance, and, bowing ironically, said in his mincing manner: "I congratulate you, Mc - , on the possession at last of a new hat." "Wrong again, sir," replied that unabashed youth, "It´s the old ´un done up!" This, gentle reader, is the case with this book.
