and journey to Mansfield Plantation, 
where one might successfully hunt any- 
thing from quail to deer. 
RRIVING at Georgetown we mo- 
tored out to Mansfield over a beau- 
tiful shell road and never will I forget 
the first glimpse I had of that old 
plantation house at Mansfield with the 
long driveway leading up to it, lined 
with overhanging live oaks and the 
Florida moss festooned from every limb 
_ made a northern man think, surely this 
must be the happy hunting ground the 
original Americans hoped to reach if 
they were good Indians. 
Soon we were in shooting togs with 
| Jack and Dick combing the fields for 
quail covies, which they found and 
; 
handled as only good shooting dogs 
can, and that evening we shot over an- 
' other pair of dogs which were likewise 
good, then came a game dinner served 
by Uncle Ned and presided over so de- 
lightfully by Mrs. Tuttle, and. after 
that pipes and a roaring fire in a real 
century old plantation fireplace, and the 
] 
guest was happy and content, but not 
so host Tuttle, because he had seen a 
dog in a garage in Georgetown that 
_ day and the more he talked about that 
dog the more apparent it became that 
we were destined to hunt up a new dog 
_ next morning rather than hunt quail as 
had been planned. 
So the first order of business after 
breakfast next morning was a journey 
back to town and a visit to that gar- 
age ostensibly to find a knock which 
did not exist in our car but really to 
buy a dog as only a northern Yankee 
would buy him. After spending the 
better part of the forenoon dickering, 
we exchanged $30.00 for one big blue 
ticked young setter and returned to 
our plantation home both of us as im- 
patient as children to try out our new 
purchase. 
The first quarter of an hour afield 
brought forth the remark from host 
Tuttle that he believed he would have 
to “talk chilly” to that “blue goose” and 
no goose ever sailed around a field 
much faster than did that up-headed 
ambitious and inexperienced blue dog. 
RUE he knew when he should stop 
and it’s also time he tried to stop 
but seldom could apply the breaks fast 
enough and generally he “froze” just 
where the covey had been before it 
flushed and there held his point until 
his new owner arrived, “talked chilly” 
to him and threatening Blue with such 
a licking as he had promised to dogs 
for years and years but never had and 
never would administer to any dog. 
Well, that was the start we got with 
“Blue”, not a good start, but still there 
was something about that $30.00 dog 
we both liked and that season we 
worked him along with perceptible im- 
provement day by day.
