THE OLD FRIEND

The dustjacket is a bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Good reading copy. Clean. No store stamps. --- HERE'S THE FIRST FEW SENTENCES --- --- The hunt broke up in a meadow near the old Neville place when the fox went to ground.The hounds were milling around, baying and yelping, still excited from the chase, while the whip was gathring them for the trip back to the kennels. There had not benn much of a field that day, because it was midweek, but it was enough to make motorists passing on the new highway above the meadow pause and gape. . .See photos for additional content. . .
