Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Faith Tresilion Perhaps few sportsmen of this generation will know the meaning of a "trencher" pack; but in the olden days a good many such hunted the country. The hounds were kept by different people scattered over a small area, and, in the case of Daleham, most of them lived within sound of the hunter´s horn, when it was blown at the market cross. Tom Otter blew it now and had not long to wait. He was a lean and wiry person of middle-age, and he sat on a raw-boned mare of eighteen hands. A weather-stained coat of doubtful pink he wore, and a big jockey cap of black velvet, time-worn as the coat and sizes too large for his round head. His face was rat-like, with a broken nose and beady eyes. Beside him, on a white horse, somewhat fat for the work ahead, sat Henry Sidebottom, publican and host of Daleham´s first inn, The Sailor´s Joy. He was a big, grey man, with a fleshy face, clean shaved, and large blue eyes - a gentle creature and no man´s enemy. Yet he rated himself high since marriage, having, very wisely, taken his wife´s estimate of him as his own.
