"Of course it was nothing against me against love," she answered. "It was just the hook, dear, that's going to hold this fish for ever." When they had expressed the inexpressible and explained the obvious, he returned to that fish-hook phrase of hers.
And I'm wagering an anchor to a fish-hook that you'll be glad you stationed me over on that neck of sand." Major Woodruff led the way back into the cabin. There he examined the chart, with a start of astonishment. "The fellow was marking down all our mine positions," came savagely from between the Army officer's teeth. Then he picked up the book.
She dared not speak loudly, but felt herself trembling with wrath. "That's not likely." He unhitched it from the fish-hook he had spliced to the end of his stick. "And after the trouble I've taken!" "I'll call your captain, and he'll make you give it up." "The old man's sleeping ashore, and won't be down till nine in the morning. I'm alone here." He stepped to the fore-halliards.
"A nasty, deceitful, old, furry, green-eyed, no-winged, ground-crawling monster," said Mrs Specklems. "There I sat, with its nasty fish-hook foot within two or three inches of my nose, and there it was opening and shutting, and clawing about in such a way, that I turned all cold and shivery all over, and I'm sure I've given quite a chill to the eggs; and dear, dear, what a time they are hatching!

The remaining corps were ordered up, and by noon of July 2d had mostly taken their positions. The Union army lay along an elevation some three miles in length, resembling a fish-hook in shape. At the extreme southern end forming the head of the shank rose "Round Top," four hundred feet in height. Farther north was "Little Round Top," about three-fourths as high.
Peaches and water melons now were in full season; the natives brought baskets full of them to our door every day, which they exchanged with us for the merest trifles, such as a fish-hook, or a button. Indian corn was likewise very abundant, but as the natives did not possess any means or knowledge of grinding it, they were not aware of its full value.
When he came back, he showed Bertie a stick of dynamite attached to a fish-hook. Now it happens that a paper-wrapped bottle of chlorodyne with a piece of harmless fuse projecting can fool anybody. It fooled Bertie, and it fooled the natives.
In Prussia's war with Austria in 1866, Von Moltke's plan at the battle of Sadowa, where he splendidly triumphed, was in the same respect a close imitation of Lee's at Gettysburg. The Prussians occupied the outer fish-hook line, the Austrians the inner.
