We started a stag of ten branches. We chased him for six hours, and when he was near being taken--when St.-Simon was already putting his horn to his mouth to sound the mort--crack, all the pack takes the wrong scent and sets off after a two-year-older.
Nous lançons un cerf dix cors, nous le courons six heures, et quand il est prêt à tenir, quand Saint-Simon met déjà le cor à sa bouche pour sonner l'hallali, crac! toute la meute prend le change et s'emporte sur un daguet.
