Note 10 — Chapter LV
Reading edition
These names actually occur, side by side, in my newspaper (The Field), to which I referred for three names. They are in training by Henry Hall, at Hambleton, in Yorkshire.

But one trembles to think what will become of it, when the comparatively few high-minded men who are keeping things straight are gone.
