I reckon you're the first man that ever come over hyeh jus' to go a-fishin'," and he laughed again. The stress on the last words showed that he believed no man had yet come just for that purpose, and Hale merely laughed with him. The old fellow gulped his food, pushed his chair back, and when Hale was through, he wasted no more time. "Want to see that coal?" "Yes, I do," said Hale.
Without another word the sausage legs made off with the plum-duff head, which had no sooner got outside the door than it began to let out in dislocated fragments, from a mouth that gradually expanded until it reached from ear to ear, "Away, away! we'll go a-fishin', a-fishin', a-fishin'; away, away! we'll go a-sailin', a-sailin', a-sailin'; away, away! we'll all be jolly, jolly, jolly, we'll all be jolly"; and so on until the sausage legs had carried the plum-duff head and the refrain together so far down among the trees, towards the water, that all the other "jollys" and the sailin's and the "fishin's," and the rest of it, were blown clean away by the wind.
But I do know that they started off a-fishin' the very day we left for Loontown, and that they come back home about the time we did, with two long strings of trout. And there wuz them that said that they ketched the trout, and them that said they bought 'em. And they brung back the antlers of a deer in their game bags, and some bones of a elk.

Why, one piece of their hand-wrought lace wuz worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. While I wuz a-admirin' of it, Josiah whispered firmly "Don't go to thinkin' of that old night-cap in sech a time as this." And I whispered back, "I hain't no more idee on't than you have of buyin' that old tent to take down to the lake with you a-fishin'."
But he answered, as sharply as he knew how: "I's goin' a-fishin'. Any ob youah business?" "Where'd you learn to fish?" the stranger asked. "Down South? Didn't know they had any there." "Nebbah was down Souf," was the surly reply. "Father run away, did he?" "He nebber was down dar, nudder." "Nor his father?" "'T aint no business o' your'n," said Dick; "but we's allers lived right heah on dis bay."
Who's the lady?" Ellis glanced furtively at Mary, squirming his bare toes on the dusty floor. "Wal, I cal'lated I could find it," he replied. "I undertook it on my own hook, and I guess I'll see it through. I'd like the fun of restorin' it, if I can, Jim." The postmaster laughed. "You're right cute, Ellis," he said. "Parker gone a-fishin' yet?"
When they was settin' up the night afore, worryin' an' wond'rin' an' s'misin' what was goin' ter become on 'em without their master; Peter 'd got kinder desprit, an' he up an' says in his quick way, says he, 'Anyway, I 'm goin' a-fishin'. An' they all see the sense on it, any fisherman would, an' they says, says they, 'We '11 go 'long too. But they did n't ketch anythin'. I suppose they could n't fix their minds on it, an' everythin' went wrong like.
"Well, Davy," he said in a wiry voice, which cut through the din of rattling harness and creaking wagon, "I see you're goin' a-fishin' for trout?" "Yes, sir, Mr. Shunk," I returned, with a politeness that told my respect for his occult powers.
Tel finally, one time he was out here all by hisself, 'long about dusk, come out here where I was feedin', and ast me, all at onc't, and in a straight-for'ard way, ef he couldn't marry Annie; and, some-way-another, blame ef it didn't make me as happy as him when I told him yes! You see that thing proved, pine-blank, 'at he wasn't a-fishin' round fer Marthy.
