How would you explain this sentence? But there was a nobler species of game in this forest, now extinct, which I have heard old people say abounded much before shooting flying became so common, and that was the heath-cock, black- game, or grouse. When I was a little boy I recollect one coming now and then to my father's table. The last pack remembered was killed about thirty-five years ago; and within these ten years one solitary greyhen was sprung by some beagles in beating for a hare. How would you explain “come to my father's table” in “When I was a little boy I recollect one coming now and then to my father's table”? Does it mean there was a grouse flying to his father’s table or there was a course made from a grouse on his father’s dinner table? PS: this extract is taken from The Natural History of Selborne.
