Father said: "Thank God for even a foxchase, if it will bring Mr.Pryor among his neighbours and help him to act sensibly." They are going away fifteen miles or farther, and form a big circle of men from all directions, some walking in a line, and others riding to bring back any foxes that escape, and with dogs, and guns, they are going to rout out every one they can find, and kill them so they won't take the geese, little pigs, lambs, and Hoods' Dorking rooster.

Laddie had a horn that Mr.Pryor gave him when he told him this country was showing signs of becoming civilized at last; but Leon grinned and said he'd beat that.
Then when you wanted him, he was in the wood house loft at work, but father said he couldn't get into mischief there.

He should have seen that churn when it was full of wedding breakfast! We ate for a week afterward, until things were all moulded, and we didn't dare anymore.
One night I begged so hard and promised so faithfully he trusted me; he did often, after I didn't tell about the Station; and I went to the loft with him, and watched him work an hour.

He had a hollow limb about six inches through and fourteen long.

He had cut and burned it to a mere shell, and then he had scraped it with glass inside and out, until it shone like polished horn.
