"Daddy," murmured Laura, "I don't blame you for regretting your boyhood, if you had many trout feasts." "How's the bass?" asked Tom, almost jealously. "Just splendid," replied Laura, sampling her first fork full. "You boys are camping in a fisherman's paradise," declared Dr. Bentley. "I don't blame you for liking this life.
"Do you know, Philip," cried Annette a few days after, rudely shaking him from his siesta on the gallery, "do you know that I have found my fisherman's hut?" "Hum," was the only response. "Yes, and it's the quaintest, most delightful spot imaginable. Philip, do come with me and see it." "Hum." "Oh, Philip, you are so lazy; do come with me."
Without disturbing the Spaniards, I shook Mr. Merry and whispered to him my suspicions, on which we both went to the door and sat down to await the fisherman's return. When I first awaked him he trembled with fear that some unnatural fate awaited us. It was about sunrise when we had completed loading, and while we were all in the huts, the master fisherman suddenly entered saluted Capt.
His arms were outstretched, and his fingers worked convulsively, as though they would like to close about the fisherman's throat, and force him to testify as the plotters desired. Cora wanted to scream a warning, but some strange force seemed to hold her dumb. "The red oar it's broken broken! Me old red oar, that saved me life!" murmured Denny Shane. "But I never knew 'twas hollow. Never!
Here was plenty to eat and drink the nicest fat eels; and it was necessary to drink brandy-snaps after eating them, "to keep them down," the eel-man had said; and his words were acted upon here with all due honour. Jörgen was in, and Jörgen was out. By the third day he felt himself as much at home here as he had done in the fisherman's cottage, where he had lived all his earlier days.
This fisherman's daughter is a most ethereal personage, speaking and reading Italian, and possessing in the fishing-cottage a pianoforte and a collection of books; nevertheless, she one day hears her husband say something about a person being "well born and well bred," and forthwith goes away from him, in order to set him free from the misery entailed upon him, as she supposes, by a disproportionate marriage.
After a moment's thought he went back again to the after-part of the vessel, to see if there might be a fisherman's boat within hail astern of them. Absorbed for the moment by the new idea, he passed Allan hastily, after barely noticing that he still lay asleep. One step more would have brought him to the taffrail, when that step was suspended by a sound behind him, a sound like a faint groan.
As he leaned back against the comfortably cushioned vehicle, he could not help contrasting the circumstances with the hoary sea-shattering rocks of Fife, the tossing ocean, the tugging oars, and the fisherman's open boat. He did not try to decide upon the merits of the different situations; he simply realized the present, and enjoyed it.
Now, if thou expectest a fine description of this young woman, Alan Fairford, in order to entitle thee to taunt me with having found a Dulcinea in the inhabitant of a fisherman's cottage on the Solway Firth, thou shalt be disappointed; for, having said she seemed very pretty, and that she was a sweet and gentle-speaking creature, I have said all concerning her that I can tell thee.
A messenger had been dispatched for a doctor, Señorita Yuste had told him, and in the meantime he was to make himself quite at home. The wrench to the fisherman's knee proved more serious than he had anticipated. The doctor pronounced it out of the question that he should be moved for some days at least.
