"Damn it!" he said, "give me the wherewithal to replace my barrow, and it will be the best use you ever made of old Rouget's money." Max turned livid; he raised his formidable fist to strike Fario; but Baruch, who knew that the blow would descend on others besides the Spaniard, plucked the latter away like a feather and whispered to Max, "Don't commit such a folly!"
Now, however, science admits but one species, though, to such well-defined varieties as the Loch Leven trout, the estuarine trout and the gillaroo, it concedes the right to separate names and "races." In effect all, from the great ferox of the big lakes of Scotland and Ireland to the little fingerling of the Devonshire brook, are one and the same Salmo fario. Wet-Fly Fishing for Trout.
We'll go up to the tower and see how your barrow got there. Thunder and cannon! we'll lend you a hand! Come along, Baruch." "As for you," he whispered to Francois, "get the people to stand back, and make sure there is nobody at the foot of the embankment when you see us at the top." Fario, Max, Baruch, and three other knights climbed to the foot of the tower.
But you will meet him no more at Mere Cognette's at one in the morning; for you will not leave this house, either of you, until you go to your respective destinations. Ha! it was you who ruined Fario, was it? you, who have narrowly escaped the police-courts Hold your tongue!" he said, seeing that Baruch was about to speak.
"I left it just there " "If the horse was harnessed to it, hasn't he drawn it somewhere." "Here's the horse," said Fario, pointing to the animal, which stood harnessed thirty feet away. Max went gravely up to the place where the horse stood, because from there the bottom of the tower at the top of the embankment could be seen, the crowd being at the foot of the mound.
Everybody followed Max, and that was what the scoundrel wanted. "Has anybody thoughtlessly put a cart in his pocket?" cried Francois. "Turn out your pockets, all of you!" said Baruch. Shouts of laughter resounded on all sides. Fario swore. Oaths, with a Spaniard, denote the highest pitch of anger. "Was your cart light?" asked Max. "Light!" cried Fario.
The two found their hatred so firm a bond of union, that Fario put himself at Philippe's disposal, and related all that he knew about the Knights of Idleness. Philippe promised, in case he succeeded in obtaining over his uncle the power now exercised by Gilet, to indemnify Fario for his losses; this bait made the Spaniard his henchman.
When Philippe was told of Kouski's flight he said to Benjamin, "You will take the Pole's place, from this time on. It is all mapping out, papa Hochon!" cried the lieutenant-colonel. "That banquet will be jovial!" "You will come and live here, of course," said the old miser. "I have told Fario to send me all my things," answered Philippe.
They have cost us no end of casts and flies already this season, not yet a month old. Experience proves, however, that ordinary salmo fario, or common brook trout, are the best for turning down; for the Loch Leven trout require deep water to grow to any size. When a boy, I made a strange recovery of an eel that I had hooked and lost three weeks before.
For five days after this, nothing was talked of in Issoudun but the tale of the Spaniard's barrow; it was even fated to travel abroad, as Goddet remarked, for it went the round of Berry, where the speeches of Fario and Max were repeated, and at the end of a week the affair, greatly to the Spaniard's satisfaction, was still the talk of the three departments and the subject of endless gossip.
