She once had been the rage.
Frontispiece


Turned King's evidence


Would'club for a guard

The Oak and Crown

Straining and creaking


Courtesies of the Road


Where the best strong waters are

Sympathy, horror, and wonderment

Outspoke Dolly the Chambermaid

George the Guard


And drums wre banged

Saddling the gray mare

Clattered away to ?Exciseman's Folly

Came cantering into the view

Jotted her down on the spot

The Finish of Beau Brocade

Ensign (of Bragg's)

To catch the cuckoo's call




In the Mall


When Sweetlip swelled its jovial riot


A sunny sommer doze


Sorrel


She'd still her beau





The warm west-looking window seat

Delighted in his dry bon-mots and cackling laughter


The almond tree


By the broken stile




Sam's two eyes are all for Cissy





As he lifts her out light


But prone, on a question of fare


They frown on you - for weeks




And runs to gather May dew

'Twas a knight of the shire'


A Toast


An ivy leaf for 'Orchard corner'



The  leaf-stained chapter
