"And the bush fires every Sunday morning, and the blacks that rush down what is it? Oh yes, the Block, casting boomerangs about! There is much spare time on a troopship, Mrs. Linton, and all of it was employed by the subalterns in telling us what we might expect!" "I can quite imagine it," Mrs. Geoffrey laughed. "Oh well, Billabong will be a good breaking-in.
The breaking-in or subjugation of pointers and setters is a very important, and occasionally a difficult affair; the pleasure of the sportsman, however, depends on it.

No long time probably passes ere the dog commits some little fault.
