Book Overview

"I don't say but what he's difficult to please with his Tops," said Mr. Rake, factotum to the Hon. Bertie Cecil, of the 1st Life Guards, with that article of hunting toggery suspended in his right hand as he paused, before going upstairs, to deliver his opinions with characteristic weight and vivacity to the stud-groom, "he is uncommon particular about 'em; and if his leathers aint as white as snow he'll never touch 'em, tho' as soon as the pack come nigh him at Royallieu, the leathers might just as well never have been cleaned, them hounds jump about him so; old Champion's at his saddle before you can say Davy Jones.

Customer Reviews

I was bowled over by this book

This old time thriller is so intensely melodramatic that one overlooks the impossible events related. This story moves one to tears, as its author designed it should. This book came out in 1867. Despite its old-fashioned melodrama if you give this book a chance I think you will be glad you read it. It is an outstanding type of its genre.
