It was, after all, a real hunting-party.

Good sportsmen, plenty of game, lots of beaters, everything organized properly, and an effective tally of results.

I think we all enjoyed ourselves in the matter of sport; and as the political result was absolute unanimity of purpose and intention, there could be no possible cause of complaint.
So it is all decided.

Everything is pacific.

There is not a suggestion even of war, revolt, or conflicting purpose of any kind.
