As the foxhunters used to come through our property while I was growing up, I have absolutely no reason to doubt that Nancy and Titty were completely serious in speaking to the hounds. On at least one occasion my mother was out hanging the laundry when the hounds came through, and she had to shoo them back on their way when they stopped to "chat". As the rest of us (measles, not mumps, IIRC) were looking out the window, there were witnesses. I don't recall if my father filmed it or not, though we do, somewhere, have some old fox-hunting movies. Alas, the pastures and woods of my childhood have mostly turned into McMansions on postage-stamp lots. Even our neighborhood's seeing many of the original 4 acre lots broken up into two acre ones. Elbow Room! Time to move on!
