I know that camera... it's a Kodak Pony 135. I own one that used to be my grandfathers.
"Aunt Vera was the most-loved of her entire generation, among our extended family. Although none of us could quite point to the reasons, we (me, my sister and all the cousins) would rather have an invitation to visit Aunt Vera and her roommate Edna at her lakeside 'lodge' than a jet rip to Disneyland. Aways seemingly cantankerous, Vera and Edna were the most accepting adults any of us had ever encountered, not matter what issues we presented them with. Though we never knew the circumstnaces, they took in Charles after his falling-out with his family, before he joined the State Department, and Maude when she apparently needed help deciding to become a softball coach at Vassar."

A couple of my dad's Leicas have those cases.
"No really, I'd better look like a million bucks, and my little Dog too, get my meaning." (Picks up rifle, strokes it lovingly.)

Can anybody identify the camera there based on the case? My first thought was an Argus C-4 or C-44, based on the color of the leather and the contrast stitching, but I don't think it's exactly correct.
I was born elsewhere, but this woman had other plans. I suspect the outside of this building was painted a dull oxblood red. Obviously a happy and welcome hunting lodge.
Intrepid dog hunter, bagged many a wild spaniel before her sad demise from lung cancer.
Is anyone else reminded of an old L.L.Bean catalog? This photo has everything: sporty apparel, guns, dog, camp furnishings. Those hats on the rack look like something L.L. himself might have worn.
Wanda, the wicked veterinarian of Wooddale, offers Jamie a final cigarette...
and grab a chair, Ernest is fly fishing on the Two Hearted River but he should be back directly."
Thirty years after the hunting "accident" that claimed the life of her late husband Francis, Margot Macomber is still a crack shot and practices weekly at the local range. She would like to go after big game again, but has found it exceedingly difficult to find hunting companions since her return from Africa.
Three more shots and it would be a bullseye!
Hunting lodge. Also, don't mess with her or her dog.
