the usual accompaniment of an empty
bag it occurred to him that his wife
would make fun of him if he returned
without even one proof of his oft
boosted skill. So he purchased brace
Of cartridges to deceive his trusting
spouse. As he threw them on the table
in front Of her he observed, "Well, my
dear, you see am not so awkward
with the gun after ALL"
