Hunters' tales, from 'Hunting sketches,' published in Le Charivari, October 29, 1864
HUNTERS' TALES.
The hunter: - At that very minute a hare springs up on the right. Bang! I kill him. The shot flushes a flock of partridges on my left. Bang! I bring down three of them. Over my head flies a wild duck. Bang! and down it comes.
The listener (aside): - Well, well! he must have a triple-barrelled gun!
