Mink are going fast, and fur-bearing animals generally are becoming extinct. The game is passing so very rapidly that it will soon be a thing of the forgotten past. The quail are suffering most. The falling off is amazing, and inconceivable to one who has not looked it up. Duck-shooting is rare, the clubs are idle for want of birds.
Isabel deigned no reply, and he took possession of a deep chair, settled himself on his backbone, and regarded her attentively. "I am sorry you have not enjoyed your week as much as I have done," he observed. "The weather has been magnificent, and I have spent all the days out-of-doors, riding, walking, duck-shooting taking liberties with your boat, and even your launch.
He discussed the matter with Adrienne, and the girl began to promote in the boy an interest in the duck-shooting trip an interest which had already awakened, despite the rifleman's inherent contempt for shotguns.
And when one day Nigel suggested that he should take two or three days' holiday, and that they should remove the camp into the wilds at the north-eastern end of the sacred lake of Kurûn, where Ibrahim and Hamza said he could get some first-rate duck-shooting, and Ruby could come to close quarters with the reality of the Libyan desert, she assented almost eagerly.
But if you are still disinclined to sociabilities you can shoot all the ducks you want on my place." "Shoot what?" "Best duck-shooting in the world is out here canvas-back, teal, English widgeon fancy your not knowing that. It begins on the fifteenth of October. I have not rented my marsh-lands this year, and intend to shoot ducks for the market. You can help me and we'll go halves."

Some of my duck-shooting acquaintance at Baltimore were never weary of admiring their fair proportions; nor did my sage counselor, before alluded to, refuse his warm approbation; but he urged very strongly the hazard of my wearing them on my way to the Lower Potomac to carry or transmit them otherwise was simply impossible.
You made defects in the circumstantial evidence, the imminent problems of our own salvation. You put us all on trial. We were under the lash of fear. If we parsons could only do that from the pulpit!" "We will discuss that on our shooting-trip next week. Duck-shooting gives plenty of time for theological asides. You are coming, eh?"
He stopped me, and, after civilly presenting me, said: "Harcourt and Johnston" this latter was he who later married the saucy Miss Franks and her fortune "want to know if you have duck-shooting here on the Schuylkill." Suddenly, as I stood, I saw my chance and how to leave the town. I said, "It is rather early, but there are a few ducks in the river.
"At dawn then," he said, "to-morrow 'what time, the rosy-footed dawn' ... so be it. And now I am going to talk to Ajax the Far-Darter of duck-shooting." "But wait!" I cried. "Why did 'Jack Harkaway' go to Nassau?" Calypso blushed. The "King" chuckled. "I prefer not to be known in Nassau, yet some of my business has to be done there. Nor is it safe for beauty like Calypso's to go unprotected.
