But his voice changed to a quiet tone as he added, "Could you, without inconvenience, let me have five dollars?" So I knew that the cod-fish and the sardines were still unamalgamated. "What about the fisheries thing?" I asked. "Did it go through?" "The fisheries? No, I gave it up. I refused to go forward with it. The New York people concerned were too shy, too timid to tackle it.
"Then out at sea you have long lines, and you catch big cod-fish, and soles almost as big as the boat." "And are you going to have a boat?" "To be sure I am. I get tired of always coming out to catch little roach and dace and eels. I mean to go soon." Dexter sighed.
Casson had the laugh strongly against him, and wisely fell back on the previous question, which, far from being exhausted in a single evening, was renewed in the churchyard, before service, the next day, with the fresh interest conferred on all news when there is a fresh person to hear it; and that fresh hearer was Martin Poyser, who, as his wife said, "never went boozin' with that set at Casson's, a-sittin' soakin' in drink, and looking as wise as a lot o' cod-fish wi' red faces."
It had also been taught to fish for his benefit; and so dexterous was it at this sport, that it would catch several fine salmon during the day, in a stream near his house. It could fish as well in salt water as in fresh. Bravely it would buffet the waves of the ocean, and swim off in chase of cod-fish, of which it would in a short time catch large numbers.
Mr. Pickwick was busily engaged in counting the barrels of oysters and superintending the disinterment of the cod-fish, when he felt himself gently pulled by the skirts of the coat. Looking round, he discovered that the individual who resorted to this mode of catching his attention was no other than Mr.
Here they camped and made what they deemed a splendid supper off an oppossum, an iguana, and four cod-fish, the result of their day's sport. Total distance travelled 28 miles. 'November' 3. Following up the creek for 16 miles, the party reached the main camp on the lagoons early in the day.
Lumpy was a human being though some of his mates insisted that he must have been descended from a cod-fish, because his mouth was so large. No doubt it was, and when the boy laughed heartily he was, indeed, apt to remind one of that fish; nevertheless it was a good, well-shaped mouth, though large, with a kindly expression about it, and a set of splendid white teeth inside of it.
'The roe of a cod, Grant Alien tells me, 'contains nearly ten million eggs; but, if each of those eggs produced a young fish which arrived at maturity, the whole sea would immediately become a solid mass of closely packed cod-fish. But Nature has no intention of turning her bright blue ocean into a gigantic box of sardines; she is simply providing herself with a margin.
Evening soon came on, and as it was considered doubtful whether they could find as satisfactory a place for their night's rest as that where they were, it was decided to stop, and go on at sunrise next morning. "We shall get to the sea to-morrow," said Bob, as he began to yawn. "I'm jolly glad of it, for I'm tired of the river, and I want to catch cod-fish and soles, and something big.
Lauriston, if he starts a-questioning you! he's the sort that can get a tale out of a dead cod-fish s'elp me, he is! He's a terror, he is! the Coroner ain't in it with him he's a good sort, the Coroner, but Parminter Lord love us! ain't I heard him turn witnesses inside out not half! And here is the Coroner."
