"Bloody"

At Tadcaster, Yorkshire, one John Short, venerable huntsman, dipped his fingers in the blood of a fresh killed fox and smeared therewith the eager face of a Royal and Imperial lad of four.

Thus "blooded," according to tradition, George Henry Hubert Lascelles, eldest grandson of the King-Emperor, son of Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles, is considered henceforth a full-fledged fox hunter, may aspire to the eminence of his father, as Master of the famed Bramham Moor Hunt.
