SummaryMrs. Packletide who was a woman of upper middle class decided that she would shoot a tiger. She then wished to hunt a tiger. It was not all of a sudden that she decided to do so. In fact, she wanted to outshine her old acquaintance Loona Bimberton. She had been carried in an aeroplane with an Algerian pilot. She talked of nothing else and this made Mrs. Packletide jealous of her. This prompted Mrs. Packletide
to do something to prove herself more adventurous than Loona
Bimberton made a plan for a tiger hunt. She even planned show-off her tiger-skin rug and to present a tiger claw brooch to
Loona.
Mrs.
Packletide
offered the villagers a thousand rupees for shooting a tiger without much risk. There was an old tiger in the nearby jungle and it was too old to kill a game. Women were asked not to sing aloud to
avoid any disturbance in tiger’s sleep. A platform was constructed on a tree. Mrs.
Packletide sat on it with her paid companion Miss Louisa Mebbin. A goat tied at a short distance as a bait for the tiger.
Louisa
Mebbin, a money minded lady told Mrs.
Packletide that a thousand rupees was much more for an old and weak tiger. Mean while the tiger appeared on the scene. It saw the goat tied there and decided to take rest for a while before attacking it. Just then Mrs.
Packletide fired a shot and the great tiger rolled over dead. The villagers shouted with joy.
Louisa Mebbin
told Mrs.
Pacletide
that the shot had killed the goat and the tiger had died due to heart failure as it was very old. Mrs.
Packletide
got annoyed with this discovery.

Louisa

proved to be a mean and selfish woman. She told that everyone would be amused to know that Mrs. Packletide bullet had not killed the tiger.
