Excerpt from Tales and Traits of Sporting Life A Man that's born and bred a sportsman can't help feeling proud of it. I should think it was so all the world over, as I am sure it is here. A man that has" a propensity" must show, and suffer for, it sooner or later. I should think it was so with all, as I am too sure it has been with me. At school it came out, as the M. D.s say, pretty kind on me. Derby winners all off by heart, foxes' brushes always to be found in the play-box, and a tolerably good recollection of last Christmas' equestrian performances, brought me a proper share of reverence that a change in the sovereignty of the County Hounds did everything to establish. A new Master for the hounds brought a new boy for the Doctor. The new boy's father was a friend of my father; and the next Saint's Day saw a pair of us off for the kennels, big in white cords and cover hacks. That did it outright; his father kept hounds, mi father kept race-horses; and certainly if ever the proper qualification for a sportsman brought becoming dignity with it, here we enjoyed it in full force.
