Chapter Horse-vetch to Hound of H by Brewer's Phrase & Fable

Hottentot Rude, uncultured, a boor. As "You are a perfect Hottentot."

Hougoumont is said to be a corruption of Cháteau Goumont; but Victor Hugo says it is Hugo-mons, and that the house was built by Hugo, Sire de Sommeril, the same person that endowed the sixth chapelry of the abbey of Villers.

Hound To hound a person is to persecute him, or rather to set on persons to annoy him, as hounds are let from the slips at a hare or stag.

"As he who only lets loose a greyhound out of the slip is said to hound him at the hare." - Bramhall.
