Lord Montague owned the estate where John worked
he asked John to come to his office
that was a fine thing you did yesterday he said
just how did you spot that young woman off the road
something caught my eye so I stopped to look
it turned out to be Heather McDonnell hobbling along
all I did was help her to the car and take her to town
she was taken to hospital by ambulance
very sad about her horse said the Lord
I want you to take a few men up there with the mini excavator
give the poor creature a decent burial out there
and let that young lady know I wish her a speedy recovery
you are my best stalker John and Sir William arrives next week
I want to to lead him to a big stag
absolutely replied John
hoping that he would not have to see Heather’s stag killed
John had led many hunts on the estate
he had seen a lot of rich Englishman follow him
doing everything for them but pull the trigger
just so they could hang a big trophy on the wall
Sir William was overweight rude and grumpy
John deliberately chose a long route to tire out the paying guest
eventually they spotted a big stag in the distance
John knew straight away it was the stag who rescued Heather
he was very professional about it all
there is no room for sentiment in hunting
they slowly approached the stag from downwind
keeping a low profile at all times
John checked the range and set up the scope on the rifle
he put the rifle in the tripod and told Sir William to take aim
John looked at the magnificent beast through binoculars
Sir Willam pulled the trigger and a shot rang out
