       One day Tom had been shooting - he shot a Hare, it ran on, he shot it with the other Barrel, it ran on, obviously injured, elsewise he'd never have caught it;  apparently, so goes the tale he pursued it, caught up with it and administered the Coup de gras with the Butt of his 12 Bore.

      Some time ago "one of me" wondered if it would/could become a Standard.  Only time will tell?  IF I remember.  (; ¬ o)
