5th March
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,
There is a March wind blowing, and the sky is filled with heavy, black moving clouds.
The crows in the pine trees are making such a clamour! It's an intoxicating, exhilarating, CALLING noise. You want to close your books and be off over the hills to race with the wind.
We had a paper chase last Saturday over five miles of squashy 'cross country.
The fox (composed of three girls and a bushel or so of confetti) started half an hour before the twenty-seven hunters.
I was one of the twenty-seven; eight dropped by the wayside; we ended nineteen.
The trail led over a hill, through a cornfield, and into a swamp where we had to leap lightly from hummock to hummock. of course half of us went in ankle deep.
We kept losing the trail, and we wasted twenty-five minutes over that swamp.
Then up a hill through some woods and in at a barn window! The barn doors were all locked and the window was up high and pretty small. I don't call that fair, do you?
But we didn't go through; we circumnavigated the barn and picked up the trail where it issued by way of a low shed roof on to the top of a fence.
The fox thought he had us there, but we fooled him. Then straight away over two miles of rolling meadow, and awfully hard to follow, for the confetti was getting sparse.
The rule is that it must be at the most six feet apart, but they were the longest six feet I ever saw.
