"We went a-ducking once down in Swampshire," I answered. "Did you catch any?" queried Grande. "Duckings? no," said Halicarnassus. "Nor ducks either," I added.

No thanks, thought I, as we left the sandy shores in the distance, for the hours I have walked over your stones, barefooted, with hides on my head; for the burdens I have carried up your steep, muddy hill; for the duckings in your surf; and for the long days and longer nights passed on your desolate hill, watching piles of hides, hearing the sharp bark of your eternal coati, and the dismal hooting of your owls.
