If we do but look at him through our fingers, without much words, but with providence enough, baiting his hook a little to his appetite, there is no doubt but he might be caught and kept in a fish-pool; while in his imagination he may judge it a sea. If not, 'tis likely he will make us fish in troubled waters."
There, gleamed in the twilight the watery face of the oblong fish-pool, with its old-fashioned willows at each corner there, grey and quaint, was the monastic dial and there was the long terrace walk, with discoloured and broken vases, now filled with the orange or the aloe, which, in honour of his master's arrival, the gardener had extracted from the dilapidated green-house.

Ralph shuddered and was silent, till Mark began bathing his face again, when he seemed to revive a little, and wandered on: "Fire burned so fast crawled out through the window Minnie's fish-pool castle burning so fast father Minnie help! oh help!"

It was Fear that he ran from, and not the moving stone beast. He stood panting under the fifth window; when he had climbed to the window-ledge by the twisted ivy that clung to the wall, he looked back over the grey slope there was a splashing at the fish-pool that had mirrored the stars the shape of the great stone beast was wallowing in the shallows among the lily-pads.
The long pipe of one gentleman rested on the table, its bole half a yard from his mouth, fuming like a censer by the fish-pool the other gentleman, who was dealing the cards, and of course had both hands employed, held his pipe in his teeth, which hanging down between his knees, smoked beside his ancles.
Dams, for example. In two of my dams I built cores of concrete and thus made acquaintance with that interesting material. Later I pressed the acquaintanceship, made garden and grove seats, a table or two, a very modest fountain for a single jet of water in my highest, smallest fish-pool, and even a flight of steps with a pair of gaîne-shaped pedestals suggested by a sculptor friend at their top.
