From the writer of the Bulldog Drummond Detective series comes The Man in Ratcatcher, which begins: Eaint much ter look at, Major, but �������e�������s a �������andy little �������orse. A groom chewing the inevitable straw, gave a final polish to the saddle, and then stood at the animal�������s head, waiting for the tall, spare man with the bronzed, weather-beaten face, who was slowing drawing on his gloves in the yard, to mount. Idly the groom wondered if the would-be sportsman knew which side of a horse it was customary to get into the saddle from; in fact one Nimrod recently-a gentleman clothed in spotless pink-had so far excelled himself as to come to rest facing his horse�������s tail.
