The colonel rose from his chair, steadied himself on the low window-sill, and looked out across the Tench. The silence was oppressive only the ticking of the clock in the next room and the bees among the flowers outside. "Wait until I return," he said, crumpling the paper. In a moment he was back, leading in his aunt by the hand.
This must be poured over the Fish, and the Dish garnish'd with the Row or Milt, Barberries, and Lemons sliced. The same Method is also used for stewing of large Roach, Dace, and Chubb; but a Tench stew'd this way, is much better than a Carp, The Back of this Fish, and the Head, are the Pieces which are most in esteem.

A young pike poked its ugly nose out of the water, and there were swarms of crayfish and little fish round about it. Yegorushka put his hand down to the bottom and stirred up the water; the pike vanished under the crayfish and a perch and a tench swam to the surface instead of it. Vassya, too, looked into the pail. His eyes grew moist and his face looked as caressing as before when he saw the fox.
