Even then my friend was not satisfied, and he voyaged about until I knew luncheon was long since a thing of the past, and I hated so the shape of his face I could have screamed. When at last we did return, I found my surmise as to luncheon had been only too correct, and we had to content ourselves with scraps. The next duck-shoot I attend I shall choose as companion a less earnest sportsman.
The police wired, "A tiger has man-eaten the Pope of Ramnugger." Yesterday the Listers had a duck-shoot. About twenty men came from all round, and Mrs. Lister and I went with them. We drove two and two to a very large lake and then set sail in queer native boats punted by natives.
John Brown scarcely noticed the sarcasm, he was so delighted at the suggestion that he was to be included in the annual duck-shoot of the Seven, as the little yearly party of Charley and his friends to Lake Aubergine was called. He had angled for this invitation for two years. "I must not keep you," Charley said, and dismissed him with a bow.
"If you will allow me, sir," said Alex, stepping forward at this time, "I might give the boys a little duck-shoot this evening on their way down to the boat." "Why not?" said Uncle Dick, enthusiastically. "I don't know but I'd like a mallard or so for myself, although I can't join you to-night, as I'm too busy. Can you get guns and ammunition, Alex?" "Oh yes," replied the old hunter, "easily.
Whether fire or fender will make no difference to me, and I wouldn't miss to-day's duck-shoot to make it either." "I hope there'll be plenty of birds, and strong on the wing," said I. This ended all the talk that passed between us on the great event that had so strangely brought us together.
