Question

Which words describe mrs packletide behaviour in the story?

Answer 1

Mrs. Packletide is jealous of Loona Bimberton’s achievement and in order to show her down, she wants to shoot a tiger. Loona Bimberton had travelled to the jungles in Africa in an aero plane in order to hunt a tiger. Her achievement was the talk of the town and so Mrs. Packletide herself wanted to get a tiger skin and a lot of photographs with the hunt. She felt that by getting the photographs published in the newspapers, she could attract all the attention and show Loona down.
