CHAPTER XXVI
1/12


MR.

AND MRS.

SPRINGWHEAT 'Lord Scamperdale's foxhounds meet on Monday at Larkhall Hill,' &c.

[Illustration: HIS LORDSHIP HAS IT ALL TO HIMSELF] Precisely at ten, my lord, and his hounds, and his huntsman, and his whips, and his Jack, trotted round Farmer Springwheat's spacious back premises, and appeared in due form before the green rails in front.
