PROVERBS FOR THE TIMID HUNTSMAN
Dressing
There's no toe without a corn.
If the boot pinches—bear it.
Breakfast
A snack in time, saves nine.
Faint hunger never conquered tough beef-steak.
Mounting
You can't make a hunter out of a hired hack.
The nearer the ground the safer the seat.
In the Field
Take care of the hounds, but the fence may take care of itself.
Too many brooks spoil the sport.
One pair of spurs may bring a horse to the water, but twenty will not make him jump.
It is the howl that shows the funk.
Fools break rails for wise men to go over.
Snobs and their saddles are soon parted.
At Luncheon
A flask in the hand is worth a cask in the vault.
Cut your sandwiches according to your stomach.
Coming Home
The nearer the home, the harder the seat.
Bed-time
It's a heavy sleep that has no turning.
