. . . a fine stag, covered with foam and stained with blood, entered London by the Regent's Park, and ran the streets to No. 1, I think, Montague Street, Russell Square. My brother Moreton and Mr Henry Wombwell, who whipped in with me, had stopped the hounds outside the Regent's Park, all but two couple, who went at the flanks of the deer pell-mell into the town. I followed them, of course, to see the termination. Women screamed, children cried, men shouted, and horses shied, as the unwonted animal came down the pavement or swerved from the passengers across the streets . . . [Finally] the stag was obliged to stop and turn to bay, backing his haunches against the street door of No. 1, and looking wildly over into the area, into which I could see he had a mind to jump. I stopped opposite him, when, at the same instant, the dining-room window was raised, and two very pretty young ladies looked out, full of sweet pity for the deer and bland commiseration! They had scarcely uttered, 'Poor dear thing!' when cap in hand, I instantly joined issue, and implored them 'to have the street door opened, or the innocent and graceful animal would be killed.'
