The justly
popular owner of this most celebrated pack, though riding good
fourteen stones, led the Walters on his famous chestnut horse
Tappy Lappey. After this truly brilliant affair, Mr. Puffington,
like a thorough sportsman, and one who never thrashes his hounds
unnecessarily--unlike some masters who never know when to leave
off--returned to Hanby House, where a distinguished party of
noblemen and gentlemen partook of his splendid hospitality.
And the considerate Bloomer added of her own accord, 'We hope we shall have
to record many such runs in the imperishable columns of our paper.'

Sponge, as, crossing his hands and resting them on the crown of his head,
he threw himself back in his easy-chair, to recruit after the exertion of
concocting the description of the run.
