The pleasantest imaginable. One day we killed forty-six brace, and bagged every feather. Indeed, F----n never loses a bird. I have actually known him, when his dogs were young, spend a full half hour in hunting for a dead bird; nothing would induce him to give up. The consequence is, that _now_ he never loses one by any chance. He broke in the dogs entirely himself:--he would seldom allow his keeper to say a word to them. He was always very patient; and he is well rewarded for his trouble.
