He takes existence sadly too sadly, it may well be; but his drabs and greys provide an atmosphere that is almost inseparable to some of us from our gaunt London streets. In Farringdon Road, for example, I look up instinctively to the expressionless upper windows where Mr. Luckworth Crewe spreads his baits for intending advertisers.
"There you are, old chap, only got a hole in your gristly lip." He dropped the gudgeon into the water, and it lay motionless for a moment or two, and then darted downward as the punt glided on. Another trimmer, and another, and another, was taken up as it was reached, all these with the baits untouched, and the disappointed look grew upon the boys' faces.
The respect which, strange to say, she had acquired, and the number and distinction of her friends and acquaintances, continued when her charms ceased to attract; and when propriety and fashion compelled her to use only intellectual baits.
Yet I am afraid all opposition will be in vain. You must, you will, I doubt, be sacrificed to this odious man. I know your family. There will be no resisting such baits as he has thrown out. O, my dear, my beloved friend! and are such charming qualities, is such exalted merit, to be sunk in such a marriage! You must not, your uncle tells your mother, dispute their authority.
Twice she had slipped away to steal the bait from some set near the cabin and both times had felt the sudden deadly clutch of steel jaws on her foot, remaining in their grip till Collins had released her. She had seen coyotes dead and bloated from eating poison baits, and meat was now a danger signal to Shady, not a lure. She would touch no food except that which she obtained at the cabin.
"November first, hereabouts, I believe." "The postmark on the envelope that carried this advertisement to our friend advises the use of the baits for 'these next two months. Queer time to be using bass-lures, after the season is closed. Bert, it's a pity I can't waggle my ears." "Waggle your ears! For heaven's sake, why?"
Beauty for men gold for women! Such are the glittering baits employed, in this world, to entice either sex from the paths of duty or discretion. The service was indebted to this species of bribery for the officer in question.
One's father is commonly of tougher fibre than one's mother, and one would not feel the same scruples, perhaps, in using him professionally as material in a novel; still, while you are employing him as bait, you see I am honest and plain-spoken, for your characters are baits to catch readers with, I would follow kind Izaak Walton's humane counsel about the frog you are fastening to your fish-hook: fix him artistically, as he directs, but in so doing I use him as though you loved him.
Of course any honourable woman any woman with a spark of justice in her heart would have also forbidden all intercourse with Lady Maude. The countess-dowager's policy lay in the opposite direction. But Lord Hartledon remained in London, utterly oblivious to the hints and baits held out for his return to Calne.
The color of the water suggests even to the tyro the depth, and as soon as the "Tahoe blue" is reached the boatman takes his large hand-reel, unfastens the hook, baits it with minnow and worm and then hands it to the angler, with instructions to allow it to unreel when thrown out on the port side at the stern.
