PHEASANT SHOOTING 



AN inspection of an old Shooting Diary 

 revives most pleasant memories of a very 

 enjoyable day in December, 189 . I was 



then staying with my old friend B , and 



one morning he received an invitation in 

 which I was most kindly included from his 



relative Lord B , who requested that we 



would come on Tuesday evening in time for 

 dinner, sleep there, and shoot on Wednesday 

 and Thursday. Wednesday morning found 

 us making a start to shoot some detached 

 outlying coverts, which were in a somewhat 

 dangerous locality as regards the proximity 

 of poachers. 



With the doings of this particular day, 



however, I will not concern myself.
