Gamekeeper:—“Well, you see, that depends on—when they are shot!”
Contradiction
Förster (to gunner):—“What did you shoot at?”
“At a doe, sir,—but I missed her!”
“What, you shot at a doe? Haven’t you any eyes in your head? You ought to be ashamed of yourself (furiously) to shoot at a doe—and then to miss her besides!”
Somewhat Uncertain
Förster (to a gunner, who instead of rabbits, has killed several dogs):—“Say, when you are done with the dogs, tell us, so we can clear out in time!”
A Gentle Hint
Teacher (to the Förster’s son):—“Are there many rabbits in your father’s district?”
