"Ah," said the taller of the two, availing himself of the first opening to a pun which had been afforded, "we are merely out on a SHOOTING excursion." Desborough gazed doubtingly on the speaker "Strange sort of a dress that for shootin' I guess them cloaks most be a great tanglement in the bushes." "They serve to keep our ARMS warm," continued Middlemore, perpetrating another of his execrables.
