Toys and general baby litter were all emblematic of fox-hunting, and a double-barrelled name bestowed on him at the christening, seemed to be only appropriate. What a host of new experiences crowd on the scene with the arrival of the son and heir, the future owner of the family fox-covert! Born in the world of trouble and ill. Teething and hiccough, and water of dill; Born, and he knows not when and why, He opens the scene with a terrible cry. Yes, the fine fellow with t...
