"There's my boat now," said Robert, pointing it out. "He has left it where I usually keep it." Quickly they rowed alongside. Then to his great sorrow Robert perceived the malicious injury which his enemy had wrought. "Oh, Mr. Dunham, look at that!" he said, struck with grief. "The boat is spoiled!" "Not so bad as that.

You can do it or not, as you like: but if you wish to catch large trout on a bright day, I should advise you to employ the only method yet discovered. There you are through; and the keeper shall hand you your rod. You have torn your trousers, and got a couple of thorns in your shins. The one can be mended, the other pulled out.
