There is not a lot of plot to this
story.
The narrator reads the story of a murder-suicide and
that reminds him of a time that he went hunting with his cousin who lives out in the
country.
The narrator spends a lot of time talking about
the marshlands where they are going hunting and about how that landscape makes him
feel. Then he describes their duck hunt. The narrator shoots a female duck. The male
duck will not leave the area because he misses his mate. When he comes to investigate,
the cousin shoots it.
The narrator then puts the ducks in
the game bag and says that he goes back to Paris the same
evening.
