“
Well
,
where
did
YOU
learn
to
shoot
THAT
way
?
”
some
one
in
the
crowd
demanded
.
Annixter
moved
his
shoulders
with
a
gesture
of
vast
unconcern
.
“
Oh
,
”
he
observed
carelessly
,
“
it
’
s
not
my
SHOOTING
that
ever
worried
ME
,
m
’
son
.
”
The
crowd
gaped
with
delight
.
There
was
a
great
wagging
of
heads
.
“
Well
,
I
guess
not
.
”
“
No
,
sir
,
not
much
.
”
“
Ah
,
no
,
you
bet
not
.
”
When
the
women
pressed
around
him
,
shaking
his
hands
,
declaring
that
he
had
saved
their
daughters
’
lives
,
Annixter
assumed
a
pose
of
superb
deprecation
,
the
modest
self
-
obliteration
of
the
chevalier
.
He
delivered
himself
of
a
remembered
phrase
,
very
elegant
,
refined
.
It
was
Lancelot
after
the
tournament
,
Bayard
receiving
felicitations
after
the
battle
.
“
Oh
,
don
’
t
say
anything
about
it
,
”
he
murmured
.
“
I
only
did
what
any
man
would
have
done
in
my
place
.
”
To
restore
completely
the
equanimity
of
the
company
,
he
announced
supper
.
This
he
had
calculated
as
a
tremendous
surprise
.
It
was
to
have
been
served
at
mid
-
night
,
but
the
irruption
of
Delaney
had
dislocated
the
order
of
events
,
and
the
tables
were
brought
in
an
hour
ahead
of
time
.
They
were
arranged
around
three
sides
of
the
barn
and
were
loaded
down
with
cold
roasts
of
beef
,
cold
chickens
and
cold
ducks
,
mountains
of
sandwiches
,
pitchers
of
milk
and
lemonade
,
entire
cheeses
,
bowls
of
olives
,
plates
of
oranges
and
nuts
.
The
advent
of
this
supper
was
received
with
a
volley
of
applause
.
The
musicians
played
a
quick
step
.
The
company
threw
themselves
upon
the
food
with
a
great
scraping
of
chairs
and
a
vast
rustle
of
muslins
,
tarletans
,
and
organdies
;
soon
the
clatter
of
dishes
was
a
veritable
uproar
.
The
tables
were
taken
by
assault
.
One
ate
whatever
was
nearest
at
hand
,
some
even
beginning
with
oranges
and
nuts
and
ending
with
beef
and
chicken
.
At
the
end
the
paper
caps
were
brought
on
,
together
with
the
ice
cream
.
All
up
and
down
the
tables
the
pulled
“
crackers
”
snapped
continually
like
the
discharge
of
innumerable
tiny
rifles
.
