When I wasn't riding to the hounds myself I could see them crossing to or from the meet.

The River Stavely ran between; and just under the window of the North Tower is the prettiest copse you ever saw.

That was from one side of the tower.

From the other side you looked into the court-yard.

As a boy, I liked the court-yard just as well as the moor; for the pigeons, the sparrows, the horses and the dogs were all there.
