( 5 ਮਰਲੇ THE sunting season had come to an end, and the Mullets had not suceeeded on selling the Brague There had been a kind of tradition in the family for the past three or four years, a sort of fatalisus hope that the Brogue would find a purchaser before the hunting was over, but seasons came and wers without anything happening to justify such ill-founded optimisre. The animal had been named Berserker in the earlier stages of its career, it had been rechristened the Brogue later on, in recognition of the fact that, once acquired, it was extremely difficult to get nid of. The unkinder wits of the neighbourhood had been known to suggest that the first letter of its name was superfluous. Tobt Muliet had ridden hum for four seasons with the West Wessex, you can ride almost any sort of hors: with the West Wessex as long as it is an animal that knows the country. The Brogue knew the count intimately, having personally created most of the gaps that were to be met with in banks and hedges for many miles round. His manners and characteristics were not ideal in the hunting field, but he was probably rather safer to ride to hounds than he was as a hack oa country roads. According to the Mullet family, he was not really road-sity, but there were one or two objects of dislike that brought on sudden attacks of what Toby called the swerving sickness. Motors and cycles he treated with tolerant disregard, but pigs, wheelbarrows, piles of stones by the roadside, perambulators in a village street. gates painted too aggressively white, and sometimes, but not always, the newer kind of beehivas. turned him aside from his tracks in vivid imitation of the zigzag course of forked lightning. If a pheasant rose noisily from the other side of a hedgerow the Brogue would spring into the air at the same moment, but thus may have been due to a desire to be companionable Now, circle the letter of the correct answer below each item (only one is correctl): This excerpt descnbes
