CHAPTER XX
6/16

The party of horsemen hallooed: Mr.George yoicked.

Rose set her horse to gallop up; Seymour Jocelyn cried 'fox,' and gave the view; hearing which Mr.George shouted, and seemed inclined to surrender; but the fun seized him, and, standing up in his stirrups, he gathered his coat-tails in a bunch, and waggled them with a jolly laugh, which was taken up below, and the clamp of hoofs resounded on the turf as Mr.George led off, after once more, with a jocose twist in his seat, showing them the brush mockingly.

Evremonde and Dorothy, skirted to the right, all laughing, and full of excitement.

Harry bellowed the direction from above.
