Riding adventure part 5

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
