Synopsis
Excerpt from Echoes of the Hunting Horn
IT takes a deal of courage and rather an amount of mental effort for anyone living in an easy-going part of the country to deliberately set an alarm-clock to ring at a.m. My reason for having committed just such an indiscretion was that I was going Cub-hunting in the morning.
After a light and hurried breakfast I donned a rain coat, groped my way in the dim half-light to the stables, helped to complete the saddling-up and jogged Off alone.
How lovely it was to be alone with the dawn; hearing the hoof-beats ringing their challenge to a drowsy world, feeling the rhythmic swing Of a good young horse; seeing the mists rolling along the gorse-covered dome of Aughlion Mountain, while the glistening hedges still retained frail-looking wisps of gleaming gossamer. Morning! NO wonder poetic rhapsodies have been woven around that word! Although this one was not quite the ideal, the light smur of rain was positively companionable when one seemed to be the only human being abroad to feel it sponge one's face.
