<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Elizabeth was pining for the shooting tobegin. A
large heavy bird, with flight much slower than the others, wasflapping overhead. I
hate a treethat blooms all the year round, dont you?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The old woman took her cigar out of her mouth and
rested her paddleon her knees to think. He was holding her in his arms, almost
caressing her. I must ask you to put up with it for a little while. I must ask you
to put up with it for a little while. Ko Sla, put Flo on the leash and go with the

face,lined, sunburned, like a soldiers face. She looked sullen, but not hysterical

thakin-ma would like some milk inher tea. The headman looked abashed and rubbed his

beyond the hedge. In a sudden burst of admiration she decidedthat Flory was really
quite a handsome man, in his way. Some of thecreepers were huge, like serpents. Yes,
undoubtedly she would marry Flory whenhe asked her! The only rule with this
shootingin Burma is to hope for nothing. In a sudden burst of admiration she
decidedthat Flory was really quite a handsome man, in his way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just as the birds passed overhead she foundthe
triggers and pulled both of them simultaneously.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The leopard jumped like a cushion when one hitsit,
then rolled over, curled up and lay still. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
