To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" See that elegant, 208 THE SPORT OF KINGS well - grown cub, how he slips leisurely along, startled by a noise which he does not connect with his hereditary foes, to whom he had an introduc- tion a week ago. Our shooting tenant has seen him too ; his gun is levelled, and the " little red rover " rolls over stiff. Another gets up and shares the same fate, and the shooting party are jubilant. We will go with them no longer ; men like these are past hoping for, and, arrant hypo- crites that they a...re, they will pose as friends to hunting ; nay, they are sometimes dependent for their livelihood upon hunting men who may chance to be their best customers. When I come across gentry of this kind — and I do come across them now and again, though, I am thankful to say, it is not often — I am reminded of an anecdote of an old farmer I knew well. He was nothing of a sportsman till well past middle life, and then he "took it badly, " greyhound coursing being the sport he affected. Early and late "the dogs" were in his mouth ; Sunday and week - day he thought of them and their noble deeds, and even as he walked home from church a word about " the 'ard bitch " would set him off.
