Lives in Cricket No 26 - HV Hesketh-Prichard

108 Before the War Cherry-Garrard, and they bagged 105 brace of partridges, 53 pheasants and 20 hares. This was not Hex’s usual sort of shooting at all. Cherry- Garrard, of course, had been a member of Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition and the previous November had been one of the team who discovered the bodies of Scott and his comrades. In November 1913 a Monsieur Clavigny offered 500 francs for the Italian book and serial rights to the two volumes of the Adventures of Don Q . He was also keen to take up the French rights generally. In December 1913 there was some confusion about exactly who was representing Kate and Hex. Curtis Brown was a bit miffed that Hughes Massie, a former partner, was ‘butting in’ in selling foreign rights – Curtis Brown said they had been sending out adverts for France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, the Scandinavian countries and Holland. They asked ‘Won’t you please put the kibosh on Massie?’ In December, too, they talked about the Don Q play which was originally sold to Fred Terry but which he was prevented from producing, and which they said was now free ... the only other play, they said, is The Maid of Castile . In December Hex went on a shooting trip to Spain and Portugal with friends, returning home on 3 January. He came back, he said, with ‘some wonderful ’47 sherry’. Hex with his daughter Diana, born March 1912. Lily, Hex’s wife, probably in about 1912.
