Some eat mushrooms raw--fresh as taken from the ground, with a little salt: to me the taste is then too strong.

Of the many ways of cooking them the simplest is the best; that is, on a gridiron over wood embers on the hearth.
Every few minutes a hare started out of the dry grass: he always scampered up the Down and stopped to look at us from the ridge.

The hare runs faster up hill than down.

By the cornfields there were wire nettings to stop them; but nothing is easier than for any passer-by who feels an interest in hares and rabbits, and does not like to see them jealously excluded, to open a gap.

Hares were very numerous--temptingly so.
