You're a Robin Hood, an exterminator! if you look at one partridge, you kill four! You sleep with your rifle, turn your game-bag into a nightcap, and shave with a couteau-de-chasse!" "May be so! but let us have the fact." "The fact! Then I hate your long-tailed dogs, and your detestable flights of noisy birds! Let me have them one by one, like larks in the plain of St.

"I shall never care for any other dog," I was rash enough to declare. But my resolve melted away one day at the sight of a soft, black ball, like a lump of soot, which arrived in a game-bag, and proved to be a retriever pup. He grew into a charming dog, of much wisdom and amiability. I called him Sweep. Thus half by half, holidays by holidays, changes, ceaseless changes went on.

Finally, we conveyed inside the tent all we could not carry away, closing the entrance, and barricading it with chests and casks, thus confiding all our possessions to the care of God. We set out on our pilgrimage, each carrying a game-bag and a gun.

And with a dexterous sweep of his long whip, the worthy bishop entangled the jerboas long legs, whisked him up to his saddle-bow, and delivered him to the groom and the game-bag. 'Kill him at once. Don't let him squeak, boy! he cries too like a child.... 'Poor little wretch! said Raphael. 'What more right, now, have we to eat him than he to eat us? 'Eh? If he can eat us, let him try.

"'Take away this carrion, said Ernest. "Two soldiers turned the body over. It was the last of the Beaumanoirs.

I did not forget to carry off my hundred crowns, my fowling-piece, and game-bag.

These he placed in his game-bag, and shouldering his rifle, was about to depart; when some new idea caused him to halt, put down his gun, and again unsheath his knife.

Mistress Ulrica, however, did not permit herself to be moved by this gentle epithet. "Fabian," said she, shaking his shoulder roughly, "you are going to sleep again. Quick! get up! I have had your top boots nicely greased, and on the chair you will find your hunting coat and game-bag. Everything is made as comfortable as possible." "Sweet Ulgenie," expostulated Mr. Fabian.

Again our talk drifted to hunting, of the good old times when hares and partridges were plentiful, and so he ran on, warmed by the rare Musigny, reminiscing upon the old days and his old friends who were serious sportsmen, he declared, and knew the habits of the game they were after, for they seldom returned with an empty game-bag. "And you are just as keen about shooting as ever?" I ventured.

"Shep's gun, as sure as fate!" ejaculated Snap. "And his game-bag," added Giant. "What can this mean?" "I think" began Snap, and then chanced to glance up into the tree. He caught a full view of the wildcat, and stopping his talk, took quick aim and fired. The wildcat turned over in the air, gave a second whirl, and then disappeared from view.
