“Just say this and nothing more,” I said. “’Gipsy Smith will give a talk in the Hut to-night at 6.30. Subject—Gipsy Life.’” I knew that would fetch them. At half-past six the hut was crowded with eight hundred Munsters. If you are an old angler, indeed if you know anything at all about angling, you know that you have got to consider two or three things if you are to stand any chance of a catch.
What refuge could there be from one who spoke the truth so plainly? And how do you think I got out of it?" asked Mr. Armstrong of me, John Smith, who, as he told the story, felt almost in as great confusion and misery as the narrator must have been in at that time, although now he looked amazingly jolly, and breathed away at his cigar with the slow exhalations of an epicure.
"Bet your life we don't, mater," shrugged Fred, carefully avoiding his father's eyes, "after all that grind." "GRIND, Fred?" But Fred had turned away, and did not, apparently, hear his father's grieved question. Mr. Smith learned all about the vacation plans a day or two later from Benny.

He found himself ere he was aware of it back at the mill just as the workpeople were being dismissed. He could not escape, and as he was principal smith he had to go upon the wheel, but he resolved to be very careful. In spite of his care, however, his foot slipped and got entangled between the two wheels just as he had dreamed.
"The old woman don't like the Nugent lot, but she'll do the proper thing." "O' course she will," said Mr. Smith, soothingly. "Come over and 'ave a drink with me, Dan'l it's your turn to stand."
