Excerpt from Echoes of Old County Life: Being Recollections of Sport, Politics, and Farming in the Good Old Times Many amusing episodes rise to my mind as I recall memories of men long passed away, and of others still living. One of the most accomplished and most agree able men it was ever my lot to meet was the late Mr. Mowbray Morris, the then financial manager of the Times. He was a remarkably handsome man, faultlessly dressed and perfect in his get up, rode good horses which he kept at Winslow with Harry Poole, the great arbiter of fashion in Savile Row, - and hunted generally with Lord Southampton's hounds and Squire Drake's, but often with the Baron. He was not a good horseman, and one day his horse, soon after the start, got the better of him, and carried him unwittingly amongst the pack. Lord Southampton, who often used very strong language, and would never submit to any breach of hunting manners, rode after him, and yelled out, Hold hard, you printer! His lordship had decided in his mind that any one connected with T/za Times must necessarily be a printer.
