I have heard of a tiger fifteen miles away from where we killed our last, and you and Richards shall go with me if you like." "I should like it of all things, Doctor, provided it comes off by day.
I don't think I care about sitting through another night on a tree, and then not getting anything like a fair shot at the beast after all." "We will go by day," the Doctor said.

"Bathurst has promised to get some elephants from one of the Zemindars; we will have a regular party this time.

I have half promised Miss Hannay she shall have a seat in a howdah with me if the Major will give her leave, and in that case we will send out tents and make a regular party of it.

What do you say, Major ?" "I am perfectly willing, Doctor, and have certainly no objection to trusting Isobel to your care.

I know you are not likely to miss." "No, I am not likely to miss, certainly; and besides, there will be Wilson and Richards to give him the coup de grace if I don't finish him." There was a general laugh, for the two subalterns had been chaffed a good deal at both missing the tiger on the previous occasion.
"Well, when shall it be, Major ?" "Not just at present, at any rate," the Major said.
