After Mrs. Packletide had fired the shot, Miss Mebbin drew her attention to the goat
that was in its death-throes, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Packletide. A mortal bullet
had hit the goat. There was no trace of the rifle's deadly work on the tiger. Evidently
the wrong animal had been shot down. The tiger, it appeared, had died of heart
failure caused by the sudden report of the rifle. The remark by Louisa Mebbin
annoyed Mrs. Packletide.
