Hound and Huntsman ...inspired by Lewis Carroll snippets (in bold) - see "The Acropolis" for this challenge.
Man naturally loves the lure of the hunt.
The day was wet, full of tricks and fun. Hounds and Huntsmen equal, all eager for the treat.
The Field Master leads black coated derbies countryside surveying coverts for the catch.
With eager eyes exploring, Huntsman and Hound hasten a wanting wait.
Scent is signaled, stirring stamina in the sluggish, with a sort of mental motion.
How cheerfully he seems to ride high on horseback, in search of fastidious foxes!
A scampering among brambles breaks silence, concluding the hunt, conquering the capture.
No creature heeds the warning when hunted. There is no place to hide.
Contently, he chortled in his joy.
