Trollope, Anthony, 1815-1882

"The Duke's Children"

'And she talks as never I heard a lady talk before.'
'Then I don't care if I don't see her at all.'

ever saw in my life. After all, hunting is good fun.'
'Very; if you don't do it so often as to be sick of it.'
'Long as I have known you I don't think I ever saw you ride yet.'
'We used to have hunting down in Cornwall, and thought we did it
pretty well. And I have ridden in South Wales, which I can assure
you isn't an easy thing to do. But you mustn't expect much from
me.'
They were both out the Monday and Tuesday in that week, and then
again on the Thursday without anything special in the way of
sport. Lord Chiltern, who had found Silverbridge to be a young man
after his own heart, was anxious that he should come back to
Harrington and bring Tregear with him. But to this Tregear would
not assent, alleging that he should feel himself to be a burden
both to Lord and Lady Chiltern. On the Friday Tregear did not go
out, saying that he would avoid the expense, and on that day there
was a good run.
