GROUSE SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND 71 



hit ! My first grouse drive, therefore, entailed 

 a large expenditure of ammunition, but un- 

 fortunately a small bag. Next day things went 

 better. I had the good fortune to shoot five 

 grouse and a black-cock. 



A jolly lunch brought the shoot to an end. 

 In the evening the household band played 

 delightful waltzes, to which one could either 

 dance or flirt, as one pleased. 



Those were truly happy days in old Scotland.
