"Jim" exclaims, "We will have a good day of it yet!" while at the same time a partridge rises at the roadside, an event which is announced to us by the barking of the cocker-spaniel.
"Glackey was in. He told me he had tracked the German and would report in full by to-morrow. He thinks you were right and the German is the man." "What else?" "A Mrs. Caven-Demuth was here. Wished to know if you ever found lost dogs." "Great Scott! Dogs!" "She said her pet cocker-spaniel had disappeared and she was willing to spend five hundred dollars on finding him." "I am no dog detective.
The killing of this bird gave rise to a highly ludicrous scene, which I fully appreciated at the time, and which I can never readily forget. Jim had previously told me that the old cocker-spaniel had a very bad habit, and would "mouth" the birds whenever he could get hold of them, while he entirely disregarded the order to "bring dead bird."
I often wish that I had one of those soft, flexible, paralytic, cocker-spaniel brains, like that of our friend Mrs. Seavey. She is so happy with it so unterrified. She is equally at home in bed or on horseback, reading the last best seller or pouring tea and compliments. Now just hear how this brain of mine is going on about that poor, inoffensive creature! But that's the way it treats me.
