gorses

It is when the far-away homes of wild foxes are drawn — those secluded brakes and gorses where the noble animal is wont to live at a distance from carriage-roads and other weak refuges of civilisation — that the riding capacities of ladies must be equal to those of their husbands and brothers.

Anybody may see a fox found at the gorses who will simply take the trouble to be with the hounds when they go into the covert; but in the wood it becomes a great question with a sportsman whether he will stick to the pack or save his horse and loiter about till he hears that a fox has been found.

I got behind it there in the shadow, I thought I saw somethin 'big and black standing among a little clump of gorses afore me.

Tough gorses, thorny succulents, desert grasses and strange pale claret coloured pigmy palmate plants tenaciously hung onto the endless flat dry red sands and occasionally donkeys with their foals could been seen along the roadside.
