Tally-Ho!


"Tally-Ho!"
The chase continues.
Henry Fielding has the ‘Bow Street Runners’ prowling the brothels, dives, and back-alleys of London, following the slender threads of the robber gang. They are seeking Smiley, Bumble, and the mysterious ‘Mouse.’ 
They are not alone.
Sir Nicodemus and ‘The Shadows’ impatiently wait for their own news from London. It depends on Jack Broughton’s connections to the underworld. 
Ned Callahan heads toward Canterbury.
A ship from Pennsylvania docks in Southwark; a five person delegation of distinguished colonials is here to seek an audience with investors, financiers and bureaucrats.
Comte Del Moro is thinking about moving to the north, in hopes of purchasing a large estate near Leicester; while Sally brazenly reprises a former role in Covent Garden.
The Quorn Hunt was founded in the late seventeenth century and remains intact to this day, surviving the end of the real hunting phase of the sport.
