Page "adventure" Paragraph 1065
from
Brown Corpus
After the war, Penny had wanted Keith at least to visit her home with her.
She came from Ohio, from what she called a `` small farm '' of two hundred acres, as indeed it was to farmer-type farmers.
But to Keith's London-bred mind, such acreage sounded rather invincible.
It wasn't that, however, which decided them not to go to America.
Keith told Penny about his dream to return to India and Burma.
He stressed the wild beauty of the mountains, and the jungles.
He didn't tell her the truth he now freely admitted to himself.
He couldn't stop killing.
That was his true love, not Penny.
The terrible power of a gun, the thing that blasted the soul out of a living body, man or beast, was one he never wanted to lose.
And in the hunting land, this hunger was considered to be a noble thing.
