Saltbush Bill is again droving his sheep when he happens " on Take'Em Down, the station of Rooster Hall . " Rooster Hall is a follower of cockfighting and Bill challenges him to a contest : his Australian bird against Hall's, a " clipt and a shaven cock, the pride of his English Game ".
A contemporary of Bridgeman's, Horace Walpole, describing his colleague's design style in his essay " On Modern Gardening ", wrote : though he still adhered much to strait walks with high clipt hedges, they were only his great lines; the rest he diversified by wilderness, and with loose groves of oak, though still within surrounding hedges ( Amherst, 1896, p . 249 ).
