But still my heart was sore for mother, and sore, too, for the tale of changed times in Campbell country my father told me over a breakfast of braddan, fresh caught in a creel from the Gearron river, oaten bannock, and cream. After breakfast I got me into my kilt for town.
'It's a fine fair, Mister, he said, 'and I'm after selling the lambs I had here a month ago and no one would look at them. Then I took them to Rathdrum and Wicklow, getting up at three in the morning, and driving them in the creel, and it all for nothing. But I'm shut of them now, and it's not too bad a price I've got either. This task is peculiarly difficult.
"Where the deuce did you get that?" demanded Elliott. Cecile, wet and enthusiastic, recounted the battle, and then Clifford eulogized her powers with the fly, and, in proof, produced from his creel a defunct chub, which, he observed, just missed being a trout. They were all very happy at luncheon, and Hastings was voted "charming."
Brian Oakley chuckled; "If I'd acted upon impulse when I first saw you peeking through those cedars, you would have been more surprised than you were. But while I was sneaking up on you I noticed your get-up with your creel and rod and figured how you might have come there. So I thought I would go a little slow." "And you wear rather heavy boots too," said the artist suggestively.
At the cottages of the poor she was always a welcome visitor, while at the houses of the more wealthy she was treated with courtesy and kindness; and many a housewife who might have been doubtful about buying fish that day, when the dame and her granddaughter arrived, made up her mind to assist in lightening Nelly's creel by selecting some of its contents.
"As you hooked Langford Larch," murmured Jack Young, who sat on the bank in the shade, while the colonel fished and Shag was setting out lunch under the trees. "This is my last case!" exclaimed the detective as he slipped his prize into the grass-lined creel. "Positively my last! I never would have gone on with this, even after I started, except for the pleading of Miss Mason. But I'm through!
Didn't I desire you to fill the creel to the top, and above it? "'Troth, said poor Mat, 'I never carried such a creelful in my life as it was when I left home. "'But what has become of the turf, then? I asked.
And were they not delighted? And you've come to stay, haven't you? There, I won't begin to urge you. . . . Look, Gerald look, Boots and Drina, too only look at those beautiful big plump trout in Captain Selwyn's creel!" "Oh, I say!" exclaimed Gerald, "you didn't take those in that little brook did you, Philip? Well, wouldn't that snare you! I'm coming down here after luncheon; I sure am."
I fished that stream with hands trembling with excitement and had filled my creel with the rare fish before I began to notice other objects of interest. Suddenly I became aware of the presence of two birds hovering over and diving under the cold water. They were evidently feeding on some aquatic creature which my duller senses could not discern.
Then there rang out a pistol-shot, or was it two pistol-shots? Logan ran for the window, his rod, which he had taken down after fishing, in his hand. 'Hurry to the back door, Fenwick! he said; and Fenwick, throwing down the creel, but grasping the long landing-net, flew to the back way.
