Excerpt from A Loose Rein

Ladies and children would not, on this market day, have been so very much interested in the news as to forget their shopping, if there had been nothing else to talk about besides poor Mr. Shorthouse's illness. This was to them the least important portion of the day's budget, though, of course, their tender hearts overflowed in exclamations of pity for the poor man. But, as a matter Of fact, a small minority only cared Whether hounds went on or not. Some anxious Wives never had a moment's peace while their too enterprising lords were in the field; and to them it was a relief to think that the season of broken necks or at least fractured legs and arms would be shorter than usual. Others, mistresses of small households and moderate means, rejoiced that one channel of expenditure at least was likely to be closed. SO in Bancaster, at any rate - Whatever might be the case in the county - the women were far more anxious to discuss the second great topic - the return Of Colonel Neville and young Mr. Clare.
