There came a man with a big basket on his back; he put it down and looked round, but saw no one outside. He rummaged about among the fish and seemed to think that they would do for him to lay hands upon. He threw them all into his basket and they quite filled it.

Even Mr Collinson began to think that, after all, the hurricane was not coming. "Don't let him fancy any such thing," observed old Grim.
