Mrs Packletide's Tiger
Do you think Mrs. Packletide was able to achieve her heart's desire? Give reasons for your answer?
Yes, she achieved her heart's desire to get fame over being a possessor of a dead tiger. While this was a connived fiction, she just wanted to outshine Loona Bimberton and prove she was no less. Her pictures appeared in the press and she gifted a tiger-claw brooch to Loona.
