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.
