Come home and you shall have some of these partridges broiled for supper, with currant sauce a dish of my own invention for uncle's sake, you know! He's such a gourmand!" "Thank you, yes I am on my way home now. Hem m! Capitola, I counsel you to cut the acquaintance of our neighbor, Craven Le Noir."
He gave up all attempts to understand this woman's mysterious innuendoes, and took the true masculine method of departure from an uncomfortable subject at right angles, with no further ado. He opened his game-bag and held up a brace of fat partridges. "Well," he said, laughing, "I want you to see what luck I've had shooting, Mrs. Edwards. I've bagged eight of these fellows to-day."
The law was then that if a crow built for three successive years in a tree, the tree became the property of the Crown. This has not been rescinded, so Field please note and agitate in your country and save your beloved partridges and the eggs of our grouse. Now two green parroquets have gone shrieking joyfully past.
We have no beautiful scenery, like the lake country, no rivers great for fishing, like Scotland, no hunting grounds, like the shires. 'Partridges! pleaded Lady Carbury, with pretty energy. 'Yes; we have partridges, fine churches, and the herring fishery. We shall do very well if too much is not expected of us. We can't increase and multiply as they do in the great cities.
B 's, where the entertainment was almost entirely American, New York oysters, raw, stewed, and fried; soup of American partridges, particularly good; also terrapin soup, rich, but not to my taste; American pork and beans, baked in Yankee style; a noble American turkey, weighing thirty-one pounds; and, at the other end of the table, an American round of beef, which the Englishmen present allowed to be delicious, and worth a guinea an ounce.
Seasoning as desired. Partridges, ducks, quail, and other wild fowl are most delicious when cooked in the ashes as described for the trout.

Sipping their tea in the pleasant, sunny room, they discussed matters of common interest Plank's recent fishing trip on Long Island and the degeneracy of liver-fed trout; the North Side Club's Experiments with European partridges; Billy Fleetwood's new stables; forestry, and the chance of national legislation concerning it a subject of which Plank was very fond, and on which he had exceedingly sound ideas.
"One day he watched the cook while she was preparing some partridges for dinner, and concluded that all birds ought to be so treated. He soon managed to get into the yard, where his mistress kept a few pet bantam fowls, and, after eating their eggs, he secured one of the hens, and began plucking it.
When I passed here on a former trip, on the 6th of June, this peak was shrouded in snow. There are some patches of snow even now, one of them descending in glacier fashion down the slope on the other side; they call it "eternal," but I question whether it will survive the heats of autumn.
