He supervised the youngster's manners like a mother, and Gougou learned to go down to the washing-place and use soap when the signs were strong for bear-dens and deer-stalking. "I saw a bear come out on the beach once," Brown would tell him, "when I was stalking for deer and had a doe and fawn in the lake. I smelt him, but couldn't get him to turn his eyes towards me.
But no: watering-places were so intolerably dull; besides, he had been invited by one of his friends to spend a month or two in Scotland for the better recreation of grouse-shooting and deer-stalking, and had promise to go. ‘Then you will leave me again, Arthur?’ said I.
Jacob took a large piece on his own shoulders, and Edward carried another, and Smoker, after regaling himself with a portion of the inside of the animal, came after them. During the walk home Jacob initiated Edward into the terms of venery and many other points connected with deer-stalking, with which we shall not trouble our readers.
"You know I should never have gone deer-stalking but for you. I made sure I was going to make a fool of myself " "I remember you were rather sensitive, or anxious not to miss, perhaps," she said, in a very gentle way. "I thought of it again last night, when I saw you so completely master in your own sphere so much at home with everything at your command "

He was my quarry. I resented interference. Deer-stalking then, and man-stalking now, I wanted no petticoats in the party.
"But when, like him, a man must give up deer-stalking and at every movement makes a wry face and can scarcely repress a groan it might move a stone to pity! he ought to choose another motto.
