PARTRIDGE-SHOOTING 75 



begin going over the guns in driblets so soon as 

 a drive is started, fly straight, in a wind, fast enough 

 and high enough for any man, and give the English- 

 men a splendid lead.

 partridges too tired to swerve are equal to a hundred 

 fresh ones, whose pace and swerve make a few 

 reputations, but destroy many.
