Who amongst you, dear readers, can appreciate the intense delight of Grassing your first big fish after a nine month's fast?
"Tom Brown at Oxford"
Thomas Hughes
Mrs. Mortimer was there consuming peaches that matched her own complexion; Marion Page, always more congruous in field costume and belted jacket than in anything else, and always, like her own hunters, minutely groomed, was preparing a breakfast for her own consumption with the leisurely precision characteristic of her whether in the saddle, on the box, or Grassing her brace of any covey that ever flushed.
"The Fighting Chance"
Robert W. Chambers
The poor man starves while they are Grassing their royal mountain stags or shooting peasants and phartridges in their purblind pomp of pelf and power.
"Ulysses"
James Joyce
