foxes。 Nothing is so ruinous�察�and just at the moment when you want them�察�
they will not be forthcoming。 On the other hand�察�vary the hunting´ground

and their master a better knowledge of the country。 The start should be

The net´keeper should wear a light costume。 His business is to fix the
nets about the runs�撮�9�А �paths�察 �bends�察 �and hollows�察 �and darksome spots�察�
brooks�察�dry torrents�察�or perennial mountain streams。 These are the places
to which the hare chiefly betakes itself for refuge�察 �though there are of
course endless others。 These�察 �and the side passages into�察 �and exits from
them�察 �whether well marked or ill defined�察 �are to be stopped just as day
breaks�察 �not too early�察 �so that�察 �in case the line of nets be in the
neighbourhood of covert to be searched for game�撮�10�А�the animal may not
be scared at hearing the thud close by。��11�А�If�察�on the contrary�察�there should
be a wide gap between the two points�察�there is less to hinder making the
net lines clear and clean quite early�察 �so that nothing may cling to them。
The keeper must fix the forked props slantwise�察�so as to stand the strain
when subjected to tension。 He must attach the nooses equally on the points�察�
and see that the props are regularly fixed�察�raising the pouch towards the
middle�撮�12�А �and into the slip´rope he must insert a large�察 �long stone�察 �to
prevent the net from stretching in the opposite direction�察�when it has got
the hare inside。 He will fix the rows of poles with stretches of net
sufficiently high to prevent the creature leaping over。��13�А�In hunting�察 �no
procrastination; should be the motto�察�since it is sportsmanlike at once and
a proof of energy by all means to effect a capture quickly。 He will stretch
the larger ��haye�� nets upon level spaces�察�and proceed to plant the road nets
upon roads and at converging points of tracks and footpaths�撮�14�А�he must
attach the border´ropes to the ground�察 �draw together the elbows or side
ends of the nets�察�fix the forked props between the upper meshes�撮�15�А�adjust
the skirting ropes upon the tops�察�and close up gaps。

Then he will play sentinel and go his rounds�察�if a prop or funnel wants
supporting�察 �he will set it up�察 �and when the hare comes with the hounds
behind her he will urge her forwards to the toils�察 �with shout and halloa
thundering at her heels。 When she is fairly entangled�察 �he is to calm the
fury of the hounds�察�without touching them�察�by soothing�察�encouraging tones。
He is also to signal to the huntsman with a shout�察�that the quarry is taken�察�
or has escaped this side or that�察�or that he has not seen it�察�or where he last
caught sight of it。��16�А�

hand�察�the net´keeper following。 They should proceed to the hunting´field
in silence�察�to prevent the hare�察�if by chance there should be one close by�察�
from making off at the sound of voices。 When they have reached the
covert�察�he will tie the hounds to trees�察�each separately�察�so that they can be
easily slipped from the leash�察�and proceed to fix the nets�察�funnel and hayes�察�
as above described。 When that is done�察�and while the net´keeper mounts
guard�察�the master himself will take the hounds and sally forth to rouse the
game。��19�А �Then with prayer and promise to Apollo and to Artemis�察 �our

But when they are really close to the hare they will make the matter
plain to the huntsman by various signsthe quivering of their bodies

rush and emulaton�察�the hurry´scurry to be first�察�the patient following´up of
the whole pack�察�at one moment massed together�察�and at another separated�察�

hare's form�察�and are in the act to spring upon her。 But she on a sudden will
start up and bring about her ears the barking clamour of the whole pack as
she makes off full speed。 Then as the chase grows hot�察�the view halloo� �of
