The disappearance of a rather strong-willed and domineering woman is the talk of the town. She is nowhere to be found, and rumours abound that a kidnapping may well be afoot.

This excellent animal story, written by Saki under his penname H.H. Munro, concerns two half-brothers, their respective artistic prowess, sibling rivalry, jealousy and a rather non-plussed white bull. As always, Saki lives up to his (real) name and delivers a witty and caustic short story which is an amusing delight to hear.
