Excerpt from An Essay at Deer Hunting
Did you ever go gadding about after the brown-eyed deer in the deep recesses of his native wood? If not then you have missed some things which will come into your life in no other way, believe me.
I have hunted more or less all my days now for one thing and now for another as the case happened to be. Nearly all these hunts have been made with but one single object in view, something to eat, so when I was invited to search for the festive buck in his woodland wilds I thought that having the same objective point, something to eat, I was well fitted by long experience for the job. I am a good hunter, if I do say it myself, and whether it be in chasing the elusive collar-button from its lair in the dingy caves under the lower berth of a sleeping car, or in digging and. Delving for the meaning of a sloppy and slipshod outline in the giddy whirl of some shorthand turkey - trot, so far as hunting goes, I am willing to give almost anyone cards and spades and little casino and wager my salary on win ning the game.

Excerpt from An Essay at Deer Hunting
Hunting and finding are two totally different things as my experience with collar-buttons and shorthand notes long ago taught me. If no mention of finding anything is made in these pages please bear in mind that it in no way detracts from the value of this essay as an essay, in fact to my mind it adds to its beauty because it shows that I am doing my best to stick to my text and not go wandering about, losing the thread of my discourse and hopping from one subject to another just for the sake of a change, like a spider on a hot stove. No, you will please note that this essay from start to finish follows the lines laid down in the title and there are a good many writers who might profit by following my example.
And that brings me to another point which is that the printer made an error when he set up the title in type; he spelled it all right and he made three lines of it just as I told him to do but for some reason best known to himself he made the second line so small that you have to put your glasses on when you look for it, although it is the most important word in the whole outfit and should have been set in big, black letters, like the scare head of a divorce trial in a yellow journal.
