Loaded For Hawks Loaded For Hawks
Aunt Sally Warner's farm tale follows Miss Nettle Ward who learns to shoot after a hawk swipes a chicken. A tramp alarm and a woodshed romance unfold when she accidentally shoots a man, Arthur Welbourne, in the leg while protecting the home. He survives, and they begin a courtship as the story shifts to unrelated notes on ducks, old bank notes, and Henry Clay.
