Question

why did the Mrs packletide give up big-game shooting?

Answer 1

Mrs Packletide during her first hunt had to pay the villagers 1000 rupees for no risk and had to give Louisa Mebbin an expensive weekend cottage to keep her quiet about the hunting incident where Mrs Packletide shot the wrong animal . So she had to pay a lot for her superiority and so she gave up big- game shooting.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mrs. Packletide gave up big-game shooting

because she found that ‘’the incidental expenses

are so heavy’’. She had to hire a paid companion,

pay a thousand rupees to the villagers and last

but not certainly the least she paid a huge sum of

money to Miss Mebbin so that the latter would

not give away her secret.
