Cartoons from Punch 1908 PART 3

Rural Philosopher. "Nay, thou maun't be sweerin' at owd mare! She's gotten a deal more sense nor some of uz what's better eddicated."

M.F.H. (getting up). "What the deuce do you mean by riding over me like that!" Youth (with bad stutter). "S-s-s-so s-sorry! I h-h-hadn't t-t-time to say w-w-w-w-woa!"

M.F.H. (who has lately taken to polo). "By Jove, old man, this is better than missing a dirty little white ball, and saying 'd-n,' isn't it?"

JERICHO Irreverent HYoungster (to old huntsman, poundedd by a wall). "Now then, Charley, it's no use walking up and down in front of it unless you blow your trumpet."

Retired Huntsman (who has taken to fishing). "I'll have to chuck it, Sam. I think they're all t'other side, where I can't reach 'em." New Huntsman (passing with hounds). "Hold on abit. I'll slip over the bridge, and turn 'em to you!"

THE TRIALS OF THOMAS. NO. 2 Thomas (with difficulty getting within hailing distance). "Miss Maud! Miss Maud! We must be goin' 'ome now, it's two o'clock, and Mistress said you warn't to 'ave a long day." Miss Maud. "You can go home. I mean to see the end of the hunt - it'll be worth the biggest rowing in the world!"

Glorious news in the hunting world! No more dull diner-parties!! Once again a Cockney refers to the hounds as "Dogs"!

SIGNS OF THE TIMES Boy (at sound of horn). "'Ere be the 'unters a-comin! 'Ark to the hooter!"
