But when they are really close to the hare they will make the matter
plain to the huntsman by various signs--the quivering of their bodies
backwards and forwards, sterns and all; the ardour meaning business;
the rush and emulaton; the hurry-scurry to be first; the patient
following-up of the whole pack; at one moment massed together, and at
another separated; and once again the steady onward rush. At last they
have reached the hare's form, 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, the view halloo! of the huntsman may be heard: "So
ho, good hounds! that's she! cleverly now, good hounds! so ho, good
hounds!"[26] And so, wrapping his cloak[27] about his left arm, and
snatching up his club, he joins the hounds in the race after the hare,
taking care not to get in their way,[28] which would stop
proceedings.[29] The hare, once off, is quickly out of sight of her
pursuers; but, as a rule, will make a circuit back to the place where
she was found.[30]
