Mr. Punch in the Hunting Field 4

A Genuine Sportswoman

AnonymousEnglish

Mrs. Shodditon (to Captain Forrard, on a cub-hunting morning). "I do hope you'll have good sport, and find plenty of foxes."

Captain Forrard. "Hope so. By the way, how is that beautiful collie of yours that I admired so much?"

Mrs. Shodditon. "Oh! Fanny! poor dear! Our keeper shot it by mistake for a fox!"

Same Short-sighted Party arrived at thornbush, discovers error, and reflects--"Five miles from station, perhaps ten--fifty miles from town, missed express, missed dinner, lost mount, wet through, getting dusk, and, by the way, where am I?" [Left reflecting.
