Deer- Stalking in Kashmir 287

It is clearer this time. " Hai, hai, sahib, you 

 shot the wrong one! Tobah ! tobc/ih!" 



It was the ten-pointer after all ! The royal was, 

 of course, gone, and I never saw him again. I 

 had left a man to spy from the top, and he 

 afterwards told me the big beast had been lying 

 only ten or fifteen yards below the other. Such 

 is sport ! " The little more how much it is ! The 

 little less how far away ! "
