The Boar-Pig

The Boar-Pig is a short story by Saki (H.H. Munro)

Matilda Cuvering decides to release a boar pig ('Tarquin') into the paddock where Mrs. Stossen and her daughter are walking, in order to teach them a lesson. A funny and intelligent tale from the supreme wit of Saki, who incorporates the French language, a ridicule of manners, best behaviour and blackmail into this short but sublimely bitter-sweet and immensely satisfying story.
