In fact, she wanted to outshine her old acquaintance LoonaBimberton. 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 LoonaBimberton 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. Mrs. Packletide faced the camera with a pride. Texas weekly snapshot and Novel Vremya Magazines published her photos. LoonaBimberton refused to see these photographs and declined the Luncheon party organised by Mrs. Packletide.

  8. Louisa Mebbin 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. She blackmailed Mrs. Packletide to disclose her hunting secret. She demanded money to keep her moth shut. Mrs. Packletide paid for her cottage which Miss Mebbin named ‘Les-Feaves’ meaning ‘The Wild Beasts’. Since then, hunting a tiger because, she gave expenses were very heavy.
