SEE-SAW on Daddy's leg is as good as the real thing and gives everybody a laugh. Guy's happiness in his family is undisguised
"Most women," he boasts, "think it is a messy sport and they squeal and act silly the first few times. Not Sheila. The first time I took her trout fishing she did just as the beginner always does in the comic strips. Caught more and bigger fish ; than anyone else!"
Sheila, in her turn, was surprised to discover that Guy was ] an excellent cook. Surprised and secretly a bit red in the face.

He tried a bit of sly deception of his own, though, in the cooking of game with which his freezer is, almost perforce, always stocked. He sensed early in their life together that Sheila was a trifle hesitant in her taste for the rewards of hunting and so he tried to disguise the venison and so on with seasonings and sauces to make it taste like something else.
