Summary

"Further Experiences of an Irish R.M." by E. Œ. Somerville and Martin Ross, follows the amusing predicaments of Major Sinclair Yeates, a land agent navigating the quirky Irish countryside in the early 1900s. The story kicks off with Yeates reluctantly filling in as Deputy Master of Foxhounds while a friend is at war. He quickly finds himself swamped with comical issues, from handling locals looking for money for livestock taken by the hounds to his own lack of experience in the field. A chaotic hunt photo shoot, where the hounds chase off after a fox, sets the stage for more amusing events. This beginning masterfully combines comedy and the engaging oddities of Yeates's life.
