Answer 1

sice we have to write the autobiography as mrs. packletide we will write it in first person singular as give below


jealousy and desperation have cost me a lot . I still remember why I first thought of the tiger hunt to outshine loons who had recently flied 11 miles in an aviator. only heavy press coverage and photographs could counter that sort of thing. my heart heavy with envy and dislike of loona, I decided to pay the villagers 1000 rupees in order to arrange for a tiger . and a certain Louisa mebbin to accompany me . little did I know how Brutal she would prove to me . when on the D day I was sitting on the platform waiting for a tiger with a constantly bleating goat , a very old tiger saw the bait and pounced . quickly I fired the rifle and the tiger fell down in dead silence . everybody started rejoicing until Mebbin noticed that I had actually shot the goat and the tiger probably died of heart attack. I thought the thing would not spread and as planned , I hosted a party to make loona jealous . everything was alright until loona blackmailed me to buy her a cottage or she will spread the fact that I didn't shoot the tiger .

I guess jealousy and desperation do cost a lot. never again will I go on a tiger expedition again
