Toward evening came home a creel lined with bog moss; within, a rainbow glimmer of brook trout, a posy of shad-bush, marsh marigolds, anemones, and rosy spring beauties from the river woods, with three cheerfully tired men, who gathered by the den hearth fire with coffee cup and pipe, inside an admiring but sleepy circle of beagle hounds, who had run free the livelong day and who could doubtless impart the latest rabbit news with thrilling detail.
Then the cob dropped into a walk again, picking its way among great blocks of stone; and Mark was certain now that it was Ralph Darley, with creel on back, and rod over his shoulder, evidently returning from one of the higher streams after a day's fishing.
I promised myself an exciting scramble down this little-frequented canyon, and a creel full of trout. There was no difficulty in finding the river, or in descending the steep precipice to its bed: getting into a scrape is usually the easiest part of it.
Creel to instruct the plain people in the new theory of American history, whereby the Revolution was represented as a lamentable row in an otherwise happy family, deliberately instigated by German intrigue a posse which reached its greatest height of correct indignation in its approval of the celebrated Sisson documents, to the obscene delight of the British authors thereof.
The boy let his light tapering rod fall into the hollow of his arm, swung round his creel to the front, and, raising the lid, peered down at his speckled prizes lying upon a bed of newly-picked bracken fronds. "Why, there must be fifty," he cried. "There, I won't stop to count. I'll catch a few more, and guess at fifty.
The blue turf smoke rises here and there, now from a cabin with house-leek growing on the crumbling thatch, now from one whose roof is held on by ropes and stones, and there is always a turf bog, stacks and stacks of the cut blocks, a woman in a gown of dark-red flannel resting for a moment, with the empty creel beside her, and a man cutting in the distance.
"Well, I suppose it would be pushing it too far. They can't say we're cowards if we retreat now." "No; but we can say they are," cried Ralph. "Why, what a set of curs, to be beaten by us." "Yes, and they can't fight a bit. I could parry their thrusts with a stick. But here; I can't lose my pony. Where is he?" "And I can't lose my rod and creel," cried Ralph. "There's your pony yonder ahead."
After that the second brother got into the creel; but he fared no better, for the raven flew upon him, and he returned as his brother had done. 'Now it is my turn, said Ian. But when he was halfway up the raven set upon him also. 'Quick! quick! cried Ian to the men who held the rope.
Again I quote from Mr. Creel: On November 27th, five days before the President's departure, Mr. Roosevelt had cried this message to Europe, plain intimation that the Republican majority in the Senate would support the Allies in any repudiation of the League of Nations and the Fourteen Points: "Our allies and our enemies and Mr. Wilson himself should all understand that Mr.
But he came back presently in a more cheerful mood and after luncheon suggested fishing, a proposal that I instantly fell in with. And so I followed him up stream, my own humor being merely to carry the net, watch him whip the pools and pray that his luck might be good, for a full creel meant good humor and good humor, perhaps confidences. Fortune favored.
