Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Haughtyshire Hunt Right in the heart of the lovely vale of Lambdown, a hard-bitten old fox-hunting Squire, Ralph Benwell, erected for himself, some two centuries since, a fine square house of grey stone, surrounded by a moat, with a huge range of stabling, and here, together with his six boys and girls, he devoted himself almost entirely to the pleasures of the chase; and, when in due, or, perhaps, undue course - for the hard Squire lacked but a few weeks of his ninetieth year at the time he was gathered to his fathers, ´full of years and honour´ - his eldest son reigned in his stead, he worthily carried on the same pack of fox-hounds, the same sized stud of hunters, and the same existence generally, as his sire had done before him. He married a fruitful wife, lived long and happily, and was, in his turn, succeeded by his firstborn boy. But at the conclusion of this particular Benwell´s reign, things began to go awry at The Chase, as the old grey stone mansion was called.
