Abstract

Let me assure you that it was not my idea that you be subjected to a doublebarrelled attack by me. Regretably this is not the over-and-under type, with two different sizes of barrels—the second barrel is the same large bore as the first. If you have ever hunted rabbits in Illinois you know that a doublebarrelled shotgun is a ridiculous instrument anyway—you only get one chance. I feel somewhat the same way about this second appearance; having spent my best ammunition in the first, if I missed the little rabbit the only thing that will get him now is a heart attack. So I'll fire away and hope to frighten him to death.
