      What does the author mean by "circumstances proved propitious?"  (HOTS)    

    Answer:

                                        Mrs Packletide wished to hunt a tiger as she wanted to prove her superiority over her rival Mrs Loona Bimberton. Her rival had been boasting of having been carried for the tigers hunt eleven miles in an aeroplane by an Algerian aviator. Situations were favourable. It so happened that an old, weak tiger, who could no longer hunt for big game in the forest, began hunting for easy prey in a nearby village. Mrs Packletide took advantage of the situation and made a plan so that she may get an easy chance to kill a tiger safely without too much effort. She offered the villagers one thousand rupees and in turn they created conditions so that the tiger would not stray away from the region. All in all, the situation was really in favour of Mrs Packletide.
