The Enchanted Waltz

"Her eyes were on the circus erected opposite the lawn set aside for fireworks where, to attract custom for the evening performance, elephants and horses were being paraded by their trainers to the strident music of a brass band."

I am beyond astonished that Cartland thinks the English civilized when their racing to hounds means the destruction of foxes under the cruelest means.
