1903 The Flowing Bowl by Edward Spencer

210 THE FLOWING BOWL is a rarity. Get on your hack and gallop a dozen miles to covert. By the time you have mounted your first hunter, you will have for gotten all about the dog which may have bitten you on the previous night, and will also have forgotten a stern resolution made, whilst shying at your breakfast, never again to put whisky, however old, atop of claret. And by the time you have jumped three ox-fences, and a great yawning drain big enough and deep enough to bury the whole field, you will have recovered every bit of that " nerve " about which you had just a suspicion of a doubt, just before mounting your hack. God grant that nerve may be with you always !
